<p class="MsoNormal">The ArchivesSpace program team is announcing the availability of a small patch release, 1.5.4. This release remedies an issue that was preventing the METS export for digital objects from running. While our big focus right now is on the
next major release of ArchivesSpace (2.0.0), we’re releasing 1.5.4 now in the interest of minimizing disruption for those that use the METS export.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As this is the only difference from 1.5.3 and this fix will also be in 2.0.0, current ArchivesSpace users only need to upgrade to this release if they use or plan to use the METS export. New ArchivesSpace users or those who have not yet
upgraded to 1.5.3 should start from or upgrade directly to 1.5.4 when ready.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
