I'll let others weigh in about 2.8, but I expect it should be released soon. That said, if you are planning on using the AT to ASpace migration tool (i.e.
<a href="https://github.com/archivesspace/at-migration" id="LPlnk893099">https://github.com/archivesspace/at-migration</a>), then it looks like you would need to start off with ArchivesSpace 2.6. Once the migration from the AT is complete (which has a lot
of little gotchas, but in general does all of the heavy lifting<span id="��"></span>), then you could go directly from 2.6 to 2.8 (or any newer version, without having to upgrade to each release in between).

Starting with ArchivesSpace 2.7, though, there were changes with how languages and scripts of materials are recorded in ArchivesSpace, so that post-2.6 upgrade will also likely require some additional updates to your data depending on how everything is recorded
in the AT now. We are about to upgrade to version 2.7.1 from 2.4.1, so we haven't gone through that particular process yet, but we will be doing it soon.<br>

<div>Hi,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We are intending to migrate to ASpace from AT in the very near future. We're aware of v2.8-RC, but Is there an anticipated release date for v.2.8?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Many thanks,</div>
