		+	Several dependencies in Archivematica have reached end of life and resources did not allow for updates in 1.7. In future releases we will address these dependencies:

		+	* Django 1.8
		+	* Elasticsearch 1.7
		+	* Percona 5.5
		+
		+	To mitigate risks related with using these dependencies you might consider:

		+	* Installing Archivematica behind a firewall
		+	* Using Archivematica without Elasticsearch (turn indexing off)

−	Antivirus (AV) scanning using [https://www.clamav.net/ ClamAV] can now be configured up to its maximum thresholds (previously Archivematica was limited to ClamAV's default limits, around 25MB). It was discovered that installing with the default limit would result in false-positive PREMIS events indicating that files over 25 MB had been scanned. In these instances, there is still a possibility that a malicious payload existed, albeit a small chance because viruses are typically attached to smaller files which are intended to be sent via email. Archivematica will no longer record a PREMIS event where either a file cannot be scanned due to the antivirus limits, or some other reason that might suggest that AV scanning has not completed successfully.
