Release 2.5

Archival descriptions

The 2.5 release will add audit logging for archival descriptions - administrators will be able to view a log of all creation and modification events associated with a description (including date of change and the user account associated with the change), as well as a log of all description modification events associated with a particular user account (with links to the affected descriptions). Users will be able to see their own logs, though only admins will be able to see all user logs. Additionally, editors will now be able to run a job that will automatically calculate the date range for a parent description, based on the broadest dates found on any descendant records.

Sponsored by Docuteam and the Bank for International Settlements

  • #12115 - Calculate accumulated dates
  • #12130 - Add new archival description audit log

Clipboard

In the 2.5 release, users will be able to save a clipboard in one session, and then load it again in the future - with the option to either merge with the current clipboard results, or to replace them. An administrator can also set how long saved clipboards will be preserved in the system.

Sponsored by Simon Fraser University Archives

  • #11360 - Allow users to save and retrieve clipboard results across sessions

Formatting

AtoM 2.5 will add support for the Parsedown PHP library, which will allow users to format content using GitHub-flavored Markdown - meaning that italics, bolding, lists, tables, and more formatting will be supported within edit templates. Previous special formatting in AtoM will be removed, but a command-line task to convert existing custom link syntax to the new Markdown link syntax will also be added (see the Command-line tools section below). Parsedown syntax will also be automatically ignored in searches, and Parsedown is smart enough to ignore open ended tags - meaning if you forget to close a bolding element or a table, you won't break your whole site.

Sponsored by Texas A&M University - Cushing Memorial Library and Archives and McMaster University

  • #12148 - Add Markdown support in AtoM

Import/Export

Minor enhancements to the EAD XML import mapping.

Sponsored by Texas A&M University - Cushing Memorial Library and Archives

  • #12172 - Add additional fields to AtoM EAD import and export
  • #12267 - Convert bold, italic, and bolditalic EAD emphasis tag to markdown when markdown is enabled in AtoM

Search and Browse

We have upgraded the Elasticsearch index to use version 5.2 . Additionally, a new Hierarchical browse page option, comprised of a full-screen treeview displaying all records, will be available as an alternative way of browsing site holdings. User will also be able to change the sort direction of results in the sort button (Ascending and Descending). For edits that affect many descendant records, the job scheduler will now be used to make those updates in the background.

  • #10847 - Upgrade Elasticsearch to version 5.x
  • #12000 - Add alternative sort directions to the sort button in search/browse pages
  • #12140 - Include creator name as an option in the Advanced search panel's field drop-down

Sponsored by the Bank for International Settlements

  • #11955 - Add hierarchical (treeview-based) browse page to explore all holdings in AtoM

Sponsored by the University of Strathclyde Archives

  • #11855: Search index is not updated when edits affect descendant records

Settings

  • #11980 - Add notification when changing settings so users know the changes have been saved
  • #12139 - Organize identifier-related settings into their own settings page
  • #12160 - Add option to hide login button to Admin options in Visible elements

Sponsored by the National Library of Sweden

  • #11761 - Update slug generation rules include a more permissive option

Command-line tasks

Sponsored by the City of Victoria Archives

  • #11910 - Create command-line task that removes unnecessary actor links at lower levels where inheritance could be used

Sponsored by Texas A&M University - Cushing Memorial Library and Archives and McMaster University

  • #12149 - Convert existing AtoM data to Parsedown syntax

Bug fixes and minor enhancements

  • #11963 - Remove unused code from finding aid generation

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.
