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 Upgrade Elasticsearch from 6.x to 8.x section of the Upgrade page in the documentation.

Ubuntu 24.04

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 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 validation PREMIS event within the METS file.

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