Release date: ???
Environments
Please see the installation instructions.
Archivematica 1.13.0 and Storage Service 0.18.0 have been tested in the following environments:
- Ubuntu 18.04 64-bit Server Edition
- CentOS 7 64-bit
Please note that we've dropped support for Ubuntu Linux 16.04 since it reached the end of its five-year LTS window on April 30th 2021. We're planning to add support for Ubuntu 20.04 in the short term.
For development purposes, most of our developers prefer to use Docker containers. These and all above environments are linked from the installation instructions above.
Added
Disableable virus scanning
Virus scanning is now disableable from the processing configuration.
Purge management command
A new management command has been added to provide a mechanism to remove old processing data from the system filling up the application database and search indices.
Changed
Python 3
All Archivematica components are now running on Python 3.6.
Archivematica Storage Service now uses MySQL by default
MySQL is now the default database in Archivematica Storage Service. SQLite is still supported but we encourage users to migrate. We have documented the process: Migrating data from SQLite to MySQL.
