The ArchivesSpace archives management tool
This release includes bug fixes and feature enhancements. For staff interface users, some of the most significant may be the ability to set column preferences for the Manage Top Containers area, reset passwords (when the feature is enabled by the system administrator), and a small redesign and bug fixes for reorder mode. For public interface users, this release includes some improvements to scrolling and performance of the Collection Organization section on resource records, which are the first in a group of usability improvements planned for future releases. Users will likely also welcome formatting changes made primarily to the public PDF to make the staff and public side PDFs more consistent with each other.
For developers and systems administrators, please note that while we are evaluating removing support for Java 8 in the near future, support for Java 8 will continue with 3.5.0. This release also includes a fix for handling changeovers to/from Daylight Saving Time.
This release includes several modifications to the configuration defaults file:

Full Changelog: https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/compare/v3.4.1...v3.5.0-RC1
This release addresses several small issues introduced in v3.4.0. Because #3031 has security implications for people using the public interface, we recommend upgrading directly to 3.4.1.
This release includes no configuration file changes or new database migrations. The schema number for this release is unchanged from the previous release.

This release includes many bug fixes and feature enhancements. Of particular note are some enhancements related to creating digital objects and making it easier to identify digital content for and in the public interface. The most complex work relates to new functionality using the previously unused Make Representative button. Based on a community-authored specification, it is now possible to mark a particular file version on a digital object or digital object component for display on different types of records, including digital objects, digital object components, accessions, resources, and archival objects. Representative images also display in relevant browse and search result displays in the public and staff interface.
Other enhancements for digital objects include the option to set a preference to spawn description fields from the linked accession, resource or archival object record when creating digital object instances; a View Digital Material section added to the "pill" for resource records in the public interface when there is digital content within the resource; breadcrumbs that make the context for linked digital objects easier to see in result displays; and a more recognizable generic button for digital content when an image cannot be shown.
Enhancements not related to digital objects but still significant include work submitted by Hudson Molonglo that it did for Princeton University to add local access restriction fields to the spreadsheet importers and RDE, and including URIs in EAD exports; more attractive print displays for records, including accessions; a new CSV import for standalone subjects; internal note fields for top containers and container profiles; and the elimination of a bug that caused hover text for the help center to sometimes appear at inopportune times.
This release includes several modifications to the configuration defaults file:
-# By default, Solr backups will run at midnight. See https://crontab.guru/ for
-# information about the schedule syntax.
-AppConfig[:solr_backup_schedule] = "0 0 * * *"

-# DEPRECATED OAI Settings: Moved to database in ANW-674
-# NOTE: As of release 2.5.2, these settings should be set in the Staff User interface
-# To change these settings, select Manage OAI-PMH Settings from the System menu in the staff interface

This release includes 8 new database migrations. The schema number for this release is 172.
No additional API deprecations in this release candidate. For more information see the ArchivesSpace API documentation.
The Solr schema has changed. A rebuild and reindex of the Solr core will be required:
+ <field name="title_ws" type="text_ws" indexed="true" stored="true" multiValued="false" />
+ <copyField source="title" dest="title_ws" />

+ <copyField source="identifier" dest="identifier_ws" />
+ <dynamicField name="*_int_sort" type="int" indexed="true" stored="false" multiValued="false" />
+ <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory" />
There are a number of small changes to the MARCXML importers and exporters based on requests made or reviewed by the Metadata Standards sub-team. If you have plugins that rely upon or modify the previous behavior you should check to make sure they work as expected.
The .yml files for reports have been consolidated. If you have translations related to reports you may need to replicate them in the new structure.

link_uri to representative_file_version based on proceeding file versionset-output env varsThis patch release fixes a bug when using default values that was introduced by 3.3.0 and adds some missing labels. People who haven't already upgraded to 3.3.0 should go directly to this release when they are ready to upgrade, and we recommend upgrading to 3.3.1 if you have already upgraded to 3.3.0 and use or plan to use default values for record creation.
See the 3.3.0 release notes for the full listing of new functionality and fixes in the 3.3 releases.
Note: Due to a bug found in default values that was introduced in v3.3.0, people who haven't previously upgraded should go directly to v3.3.1 when they decide to upgrade.
This release includes many small bug fixes and feature enhancements. Of particular note are some enhancements to spawning from accessions and an option for logged in users to change their own passwords. As part of the spawning improvements, the plugin Hudson Molonglo developed for The New School Archives and Special Collections to link accessions to archival objects has been incorporated into the core code of ArchivesSpace.
