- Enhanced structural metadata editing—edit structure for a section visually (core)
- Import of structure within media files (such as WAV cue points) upon ingest (depending on amount of effort, core or IU)
- Performance improvements for objects and playlists with large numbers of items (investigate to decide whether core or IU)
- IIIF Manifest generation from media objects (IU)
Release 7
Our goal with Avalon 7.0 is to offer a full-featured media streaming application based on the modern Samvera stack. To this end, Avalon 7 will be built using Hyrax as a base, offering developers an environment they know and understand, and offering administrators the flexibility to run stand-alone streaming solutions or integrate scalable streaming into existing Hyrax-based applications. As we work toward full-feature parity with Avalon 6, we will continue development and support. Each dot release milestone is estimated to be an 8-week work cycle.

The goal of this cycle is to build out critical feature endpoints. We will initially focus on building out playlist endpoints as a decoupled service (create, read, update, delete). The service will return an IIIF compliant manifest that can be consumed by Avalon's Standalone Player. The team will also work on an initial POC of our batch ingestion. The team will also take an initial pass at UI/UX designs for Avalon on Hyrax.
