Release announcement: 2.1.1, 2.0.2, and 1.3.2 security upgrade releases now available
Dan Gillean
A new security upgrade is now available for all our major branches. We strongly encourage all users to upgrade to the most recent security release. Security upgrade releases include:
- AtoM 2.1.1 - the most current release
- AtoM 2.0.2 - security upgrade for 2.0.1 users who have chosen not to upgrade to 2.1
- ICA-AtoM 1.3.2 - security upgrade for ICA-AtoM users who have chosen not to upgrade to AtoM 2
All security releases are available on our Downloads page:
For ICA-AtoM users looking to upgrade from 1.3.1 or earlier to the 1.3.2 security release, upgrade instructions can be found here:
PLEASE NOTE: We are not actively maintaining the legacy ICA-AtoM 1.x branch. At this time we do not expect to be making any further ICA-AtoM 1.x releases, as all active development is going to our 2.x branch. We encourage our global ICA-AtoM users to take this opportunity to explore AtoM 2, and consider upgrading to 2.1.2 to enjoy all the newest features. AtoM 2 shares the same code base, is managed by the same lead developers, and is released under the same open-source license. Key differences include a new look and feel, a vastly improved search index, and a completely rewritten set of documentation, as well as hundreds of bug fixes, dozens of new features, and a bright future as we continue to develop the application. Some links for more information:

AtoM 2.1.1 also includes several minor bug fixes including:
- #7352 - Search text box in AtoM clears text when clicking in / out of the text box
- #7649 - Add --index option to Accessions CSV import CLI task
- #7417 - Hide Archival history in public Advanced search if field is hidden via Visible elements
- #7418 - Fix multiple deletion problem for Alternative identifiers in edit form
- #7419 - Fix public search of Alternative identifier fields
- #7282 - Fix URL export links in EAD when roundtripping
- #7328 - Minor EAD mapping improvements
TRANSLATORS - Please note, there are NO new translation files included in the 2.1.1 release. Instead, we will be including them in an upcoming translation release, 2.1.2, which we anticipate releasing on February 9, 2015. For more information, please see this User forum post:
Meanwhile, we are hard at work on our 2.2 release, which will include a number of exciting new features. We expect the 2.2 release to be available later in Q1, or early Q2, of 2015.

We previously announced that this would be made available on February 9th. It turns out that this date is a statutory holiday in Canada where we are based - consequently, 2.1.2 will be released on Tuesday, February 10th instead. A separate release announcement will be made in a new thread on that day, and the tarball will be available via our Downloads page.
