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 a 6an 8-week work cycle.

0.3

The goal of this cycle is to continue refinement of our media work type while developing our streaming/derivative generation pipeline. UI/UX work will begin, and we will deliver initial mockups. Work on the standalone player will continue. 6.4.3 will be cut as a bug fix.
