The current release of Avalon 6 is: Avalon 6.4.45
- 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.
