[Archivesspace_Users_Group] release candidate available - ArchivesSpace v3.2.0-RC1

[Christine Di Bella]

Hello ArchivesSpace members,

The ArchivesSpace team is pleased to announce a release candidate, v3.2.0-RC1. You can download it at https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/releases/tag/v3.2.0-RC1 or test it out without downloading at http://test.archivesspace.org/staff  (username admin /password admin).

This release candidate marks the previously announced transition to external Solr. Links to documentation, a tutorial video, and other information are available at https://archivesspace.org/archives/7151.

Beyond external Solr, there are several items to note in the release candidate.


  *   The Smithsonian worked with Hudson Molonglo to improve the ARKs feature. The scope of the work is described at https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/pull/2437.
  *   There is a new custom reports feature that was worked on by several developers, including former Tech Lead Laney McGlohon. This feature will be the topic of our Trainers Office Hours call on January 24. Registration for that call<https://archivesspace.org/archives/7240?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=join-us-for-the-next-archivesspace-trainers-corps-office-hour-monday-january-24th-at-2pm-et-11am-pt> is open.
  *   Other highlights include small improvements to the spreadsheet importers, a new page within the application for downloading templates, and various small bug fixes and features prioritized by the Development Prioritization sub-team.

A particular thanks to our Testing sub-team for their work testing individual JIRAs and doing regression testing across the application.

Please try this release candidate out and let us know at ArchivesSpaceHome at lyrasis.org<mailto:ArchivesSpaceHome at lyrasis.org> by January 27 if you notice any problems with the specific areas addressed in this release, or if anything that was working before no longer is. Pending the results of this testing, we will aim to release the production version of 3.2.0 shortly afterwards.

This is the fall 2021 release from the roadmap<https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ADC/pages/2634973195/Roadmap+as+of+January+2022> that was originally projected for December. Items that were projected for this release that did not make it in have been shifted to future releases.

Please get in touch if you have any questions. Thanks as always for your feedback and support.

Christine
