This roadmap describes new development on the core code of the ArchivesSpace application by the ArchivesSpace Program Team, contractors, and community developers.
The complete record for core code development is in JIRA. This includes all completed development work (including all the work that was previously represented in Pivotal Tracker and migrated to JIRA in January 2015), current development work, work prioritized to be addressed in the near future, and work not yet prioritized.
Starting in 2016, development work to be conducted by the ArchivesSpace Program Team and contractors will be prioritized by the Development Prioritization subteam in collaboration with ArchivesSpace Program Team members. The Development Prioritization subteam is composed of members of the ArchivesSpace User and Technical Advisory Councils.
For more about the ArchivesSpace development process, see Release Schedule and Process. Information on ArchivesSpace plugins and integrations are available on their respective wiki pages.

v.1.5.0 and 1.5.1
These releases incorporate the enhanced container management functionality originally developed for Yale University by Hudson Molonglo (HM) into the core code of the application. They also incorporate the complementary location management functionality developed for New York University by HM. They also include a number of small bug fixes and feature enhancements. Please see the release pages (v1.5.0 | v1.5.1) for a listing of all the new features and bug fixes included in these releases. (V1.5.1 includes two fixes for issues found in v1.5.0: ensuring the correct version of Solr is packaged and making some changes to the EAD importer to ensure that valid EAD is produced when certain characters or encoding are present in notes.)

v.1.4
- This release includes solutions to rendering and re-ordering performance problems that many users reported. These solutions were distributed in two release candidates in
August 2015 and received approval from several users. - This release also includes several new features: an enhanced interface to the LCNAF plugin that makes it easier to scan and identify authority records for import; ability to see how many times and where a controlled value term has been applied; ability to set a default order for notes in the resource and digital object modules; and the ability to record extent statements in the Rapid Date Entry template in the resource module.
