Hi everyone,

• IP Group access permissions were not activated.
• Guestbook entry form validation was not working and overwriting prepopulated field values were not being saved.
• Download All check box now downloads all files, regardless of scroll bar position.
• An experimental backup to secondary storage utility is provided.
• A docker container with a standalone Dataverse instance is provided to support automatic integration tests.
• Support for AWS IAM role for S3 driver and multiple regions.
• Modular Configure
• Some infrastructure to support differential privacy.

You can download the release on Github. For the complete list of issues, see the 4.8.5 milestone in Github. 

Big thanks to all of the community members who contributed suggestions, code, feedback, user testing, and everything else! 

Here's to a release-ful 2018!
