<p class="MsoNormal">Hello ArchivesSpace members,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The ArchivesSpace team is pleased to announce the availability of v2.3.0. You can download it at
<a href="https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/releases/tag/v2.3.0">https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/releases/tag/v2.3.0</a>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This release 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>).
The most notable bug fixes are:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">repairing component scrambling that can happen when exporting EAD after re-ordering tree nodes<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">enabling the use of a proxy prefix<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">correcting digital object linking problems in the public interface<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The full list of bug fixes and improvements is included in the release notes. Thanks to community members Mark Cooper, Chris Fitzpatrick, Bobbi Fox, and Blake Carver for their contributions. We are also very appreciative of the work of
our Development Prioritization sub-team, Testing sub-team, and Core Committers Group in helping prioritize, test, and do code review for issues for this release.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The first work on the enhanced Agents module is included in this release, namely a new feature that allows systems administrators and repository managers to add fields to the required field list in the Agents Record for all four types of
agents. We are thankful to developer Alyx Rossetti for her work on this feature. Additional agents specification work will be included in upcoming releases.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Information on upgrading to a new version of ArchivesSpace is available at
<a href="http://archivesspace.github.io/archivesspace/user/upgrading-to-a-new-release-of-archivesspace/">
http://archivesspace.github.io/archivesspace/user/upgrading-to-a-new-release-of-archivesspace/</a>. If you have not already upgraded to a 2.2.x version, we recommend going directly to 2.3.0, though, depending on the version you are coming from, you should read
the special considerations for upgrading from/to different versions that are linked to from the upgrading document first. If you have any questions or need help upgrading, please let us know.<o:p></o:p></p>
