Archivematica 0.7-alpha now available

[Peter Van Garderen]

We're happy to announce that the 0.7-alpha release of the free and open-source
Archivematica digital preservation software is now available.

Archivematica implements a micro-service design to process digital objects from
ingest to access in accordance with the ISO-OAIS functional model, including the
implementation of media-type preservation plans.

We are working directly with a number of early implementers to pilot test this
release and work towards a comprehensive 0.8-beta release by the end of the year.

We encourage active community collaboration and appreciate all feature
enhancement requests, bug reports, design recommendation, etc. from anyone that
has taken the time to take the application for a spin.

Even though the 0.7 release is still in alpha development it is a major
milestone release for Archivematica and introduces some major upgrades, namely a
highly scalable client/server architecture, configurable workflow and a
web-based Dashboard used to monitor and control the digital curation micro-services.

interested to hear about the project.

Cheers,
