 before continuing to add more functionality to the application. As such we are postponing our next major release until later in the year and will be updating the roadmap later this week to reflect this. While the roadmap always represents our best estimate
 as to what will get accomplished in a particular timeframe, sometimes we get thrown an unexpected curveball and this is one of them. You’ll see some additional messages from us in the coming weeks about progress on the issues to be addressed. Thanks for your
 patience as we do this important work to improve everyone’s ArchivesSpace experience.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
