<p class="MsoNormal">This release candidate contains a number of community pull requests along with a few bug fixes, some reports updates, and the start of the enhancement of the Agents Module (JIRA with the full specification available at <a href="https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/AR-1779">https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/AR-1779</a>).
