== Environments ==

Please see the [https://www.archivematica.org/en/docs/archivematica-1.18/admin-manual/installation-setup/installation/installation/#installation installation instructions].

Archivematica 1.18.0 and Storage Service 0.24.0 have been tested in the following environments:

== Changed ==

=== Elasticsearch 8.x ===

* Issue: https://github.com/archivematica/Issues/issues/1752

Archivematica 1.18.0 no longer supports Elasticsearch 6.x and is now compatible with version 8.x. For instructions on migrating your Elasticsearch data, refer to the [https://www.archivematica.org Upgrade Elasticsearch from 6.x to 8.x] section of the Upgrade page in the documentation.

=== Ubuntu 24.04 ===

* Issue: https://github.com/archivematica/Issues/issues/1729

Archivematica 1.18.0 supports Ubuntu 24.04 and drops support for Ubuntu 20.04.

=== JHOVE validation commands ===

* Issue: https://github.com/archivematica/Issues/issues/1723

New JHOVE validation commands have been implemented to prevent false positives that occur when [https://github.com/openpreserve/jhove/issues/395 JHOVE encounters the built-in BYTESTREAM module] following validation errors. The existing validation rules have been updated to use these new commands.

The new commands also capture errors from the command output and include them in the outcome detail note of the <code>validation</code> PREMIS event within the METS file.

Special thanks to Felicitas Günther for sharing their error-handling implementation.

=== JHOVE 1.34.0 ===

* Issue: https://github.com/archivematica/Issues/issues/1730

=== PRONOM v120 ===

 New application variables have been added to control cookie flags (Secure, HttpOnly, SameSite) in the Archivematica Dashboard and Storage Service. This change enhances session protection and reduces risks such as session hijacking and cross-site request forgery, particularly in HTTPS deployments.
-Because default values for several cookie-related settings have changed, this update is backward incompatible with previous deployments. In particular, if your deployment is not using HTTPS, you must explicitly set the  <code>*_SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE</code> and <code>*_CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE</code> application variables to <code>false</code> to restore the previous behavior. Deployments already configured with HTTPS should not be affected by these changes. Administrators should review their settings to take advantage of these options ensuring deployment configurations are updated to align with these stricter defaults:
