New features

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.

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

AIP Storage and Transfer Backlog can now be created as GPG-encrypted spaces. An AIP or transfer stored in an encrypted location is encrypted at rest. When downloaded, an encrypted AIP is decrypted for use.

Sponsored by Simon Fraser University. Thank you!

Shibboleth and LDAP integration

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

Sponsored by Jisc, MoMA, and the International Institute of Social History. Thank you!

MediaConch integration

MediaConch checks the conformance of .mkv files (originals and derivatives) against the Matroska specification. It also checks the validity of media files (originals and derivatives) against user-provided MediaConch-specific policy files.

Sponsored by the PREFORMA Project. Thank you!

Indexless Archivematica

DIP upload and storage workflow improvements

Clarifies the sequence of the upload DIP and store DIP dropdown options in the Ingest dashboard. The processing configuration settings have also been updated, so that DIP upload and storage can be mostly automated.

Sponsored by MoMA, MIT, and University of York. Thank you!

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.

Bug fixes

  • Sponsored (Name of sponsor) - Short description of the bug fix - link to Redmine ticket, link to PR

New and upgraded tools and dependencies

  • PRONOM updated to version 92
  • METS updated to version 1.11
