About ArchivesSpace
An archives platform whose big releases are infrastructure debt being paid down
ArchivesSpace publishes release candidates rather than a continuous stream, and the two substantive entries here bracket its recent history. v4.0.0-RC1 was an infrastructure release — Bootstrap, Rails, JRuby, jQuery and Jetty all moved forward, the staff CSS migrated from less to sass, and specs were ported to capybara. v4.2.0-RC1 is the opposite in scale: bug fixes plus small configurable options for the staff and public interfaces.
