Release 2.7
Our next major release. Features described below are currently scheduled for inclusion; more will be added over time.
Accessibility
Community contributor Matt Innes has contributed a number of minor accessibility enhancements to the latest AtoM release, addressing elements such as adding missing aria labels or instructions, better tab navigation flow and general page structure improvements, removal of redundant elements affecting accessibility, etc. These changes do not affect the look or feel of AtoM, but should provide some quality of life improvements for users with assistive technologies such as screen readers.
Community contributions from Matt Innes
- #13535 - Enhance accessibility support of various AtoM template elements
Accessions
This release sees some additional incremental support for elements of the Canadian Archival Accession Information Standard (CAAIS). In this release, we have added a basic module for managing events in conformance with CAAIS Element 5.1, which are "the actions taken by repository staff throughout the accession process." The 5.1.1 Event Type field is linked to a new Accession Events taxonomy that can be customized by an administrator as needed.
General bug fixes and enhancements
- #13466 - Accession donors are not indexed properly
Sponsored by the Government of the Northwest Territories
- #13315 - Add ability to associate events with accession records

Authentication
AtoM now supports use of the Central Authentication Service (CAS) protocol for single sign-on and authentication management. Additionally, the previously undocumented support for LDAP now has configuration instructions in the Administrator's manual (on the same page as the CAS documentation linked below).

- #13383 - Support CAS single sign-on

Wishlist
This project in our issue tracker is where new unsponsored feature requests for Access to Memory (AtoM) can be added. This allows us to log feature requests, and begin discussion about requirements and design without adding confusion to the main AtoM project's issue tracker as to which features will be included in an upcoming release.
See the AtoM Wishlist project here:
Tip
Once you've followed the link above, you can click on the "Issues" link at the top of the page to browse all issue tickets in the AtoM Wishlist. You can sort the list of issues by clicking on a column header, and use the Filter drop-down menu to the right to customize the query.
How the Wishlist works
When features are sponsored by an institution, or developed and submitted via community pull request, they will be copied to the main AtoM project in our issue tracker (here), and marked verified in the Wishlist project. Developer discussion, quality assurance testing, and other related updates will be posted to the related development ticket in the main AtoM project.
The tested version tag can be used in the Wishlist's issue description to keep track of when the feature was requested (e.g. which version of AtoM was most recent when the feature request came in)
The target version will only be applied before a Wishlist ticket is verified (closed) and copied to the main AtoM project.
