Released MM DD, 2018.

Archivematica 1.7 adds several exciting new features. Below you'll find a short description of each feature as well as links to the relevant documentation and code changes. This release also includes many enhancements to existing features as well as bug fixes. Thank you to all sponsoring institutions for your dedication to making Archivematica better!

This release also includes several bugfixes, especially related to packaging. We've also been concentrating on improving the overall Archivematica documentation.

This release was truly a team effort. The release team included: Ashley Blewer, Jesús Garcia Crespo, Joel Dunham, José Raddaoui Marín, Justin Simpson, Kelly Stewart, Michelle Curran, Miguel Angel Medinilla Luque, Nick Wilkinson, Ross Spencer, Santiago Rodríguez Collazo, Sara Allain, and Sarah Romkey.

Added

Internationalization/localization

Translation hooks have been added to the Archivematica user interface, the Storage Service, the documentation, and the Archivematica website. This work will support the translation of those resources into many languages through Artefactual's current localization platform, Transifex. Note that translation hooks for Archivematica workflow components (microservice names, job names, and drop-down options) will be added in Archivematica 1.8.

This work was sponsored by the Canadian Council of Archives. Thank you!

NOTE: this work prepares Archivematica for localization; however, minimal translation has been completed. The interface will default to English at the present time, but can be changed to another language in the Settings menu.

AIP encryption

This feature allows users to connect their Archivematica pipeline to GPG-encrypted AIP Storage and Transfer Backlog spaces. AIPs and transfers in backlog can also be encrypted. An AIP or transfer stored in an encrypted location is encrypted at rest; when downloaded, an encrypted AIP is decrypted for use.

This work was sponsored by the Simon Fraser University Archives. Thank you!

Shibboleth and LDAP integration

Archivematica and the Storage Service can now be deployed to use LDAP or Shibboleth authentication.

This work was sponsored by Jisc, MoMA, and the International Institute of Social History - a truly international effort. Thank you!

MediaConch integration

This integration allows users to use MediaConch to check the conformance of .mkv files (originals and derivatives) against the Matroska specification. It also checks the validity of media files against user-provided policies.

This work was sponsored by the PREFORMA Project. Thank you!

Indexless Archivematica

This feature supports deployment of Archivematica in indexless mode, disabling ElasticSearch. This means that users that don't require Archivematica's indexing features can save the compute resources required for what can be an intensive task.

This work was sponsored by the Columbia University Libraries. Thank you!

Changed

DIP upload and storage workflow improvements

This work clarifies the sequence of the Upload DIP and Store DIP jobs on the Ingest tab. The processing configuration settings have also been updated so that almost every decision point can be automated (the exception is Upload DIP, which requires data entry).

This work was sponsored by MoMA, the MIT Libraries, and the University of York. Thank you!

Pull request(s): PR680, PR741

New Dashboard API whitelist mechanism

Two changes have been made to the API whitelist functionality:

The default API whitelist setting is now empty.
If the API whitelist setting is empty the user can still authenticate against the API using the key. The whitelist is only activated when at least one IP address is listed.
