<span style="color:black">This month’s update highlights many exciting developments that are underway. The Staff Interface Enhancement Working Group has drafted up recommendations and needs community feedback before we can move into development. We can still
use some help testing the Archivists' Toolkit migration tool that migrates directly into ArchivesSpace version 2.1.2. There’s also an Archon migration tool in the works but we need some test data to play with as we develop this tool. We’re still accepting
applications for a new DevOps Specialist to support the ArchivesSpace community. And read on for details on an open community call on Zoom in November as well as an upcoming webinar on Testing in December!</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<span style="color:black">The ArchivesSpace team is pleased to release version 2.2.1!<br>
<br>
You can download the new release from Github at </span><a href="https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/releases/tag/v2.2.1"><span style="color:#1155CC">https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/releases/tag/v2.2.1</span></a><span style="color:black">.
Please see the technical documentation for information on how to upgrade your ArchivesSpace installations.<br>
<br>
This release includes a number of bug fixes and improvements, including contributions by community members Lora Woodford, Mark Custer, Mark Cooper, Steve Majewski, Dallas Pillen, Chris Fitzpatrick, and Brad Spry, as well as development work by our Tech Lead
Laney McGlohon. Many of the bug fixes were prioritized by our Development Prioritization subteam, led by Jason Loeffler.
<br>
<br>
This release covers a number of different areas of the application. For those using the new public user interface, this release includes better relevancy ranking for search results, display of published accessions on subject and agent pages, and removes some
idiosyncrasies related to search and search results pages. For those using classifications, there is now the ability to add and view linked records from classification terms as well as the top-level classification. For those using reports, this release corrects
an issue in 2.2.0 where some reports were unable to run. A complete listing of what’s in this release is in the release notes.<br>
<br>
Thanks as always to all who contributed to this release, by identifying and prioritizing needed improvements, writing code, testing, and providing technical support. We appreciate all of the community efforts that make each release of the ArchivesSpace application
possible and better.<br>
<br>
If you have any question or difficulties upgrading, please just let us know.<b><br>

<br>
The commenting period will be open until December 1st. We hope to submit our final recommendations to the ArchivesSpace program and publish them to Confluence in mid-December. To provide feedback, you can comment directly on the individual documents, add questions
