This release addresses two issues that were discovered after last week’s v1.5.0 release:
- Ensures that the correct version of Solr is packaged and modifies some Solr behavior not needed for ArchivesSpace installations. This addresses the indexing issues that were experienced by people with very large ArchivesSpace databases and will improve indexing performance for all database sizes. (#497 and #502)
- Makes some changes to the EAD exporter to ensure that invalid EAD is not produced when ampersands are present in some notes. (https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/AR-1533)
If you already upgraded to v1.5.0, this will be a minor upgrade and you can follow the standard upgrade instructions (http://archivesspace.github.io/archivesspace/user/upgrading-to-a-new-release-of-archivesspace/). If you are moving from v1.4.2 or earlier versions of ArchivesSpace, please review the additional upgrade considerations at https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/blob/master/UPGRADING_1.5.0.md.
