[Archivesspace_Users_Group] release candidate available - ArchivesSpace v3.1.0-RC1

[Christine Di Bella]

Hello ArchivesSpace members,

The ArchivesSpace team is pleased to announce a release candidate, v3.1.0-RC1. 
You can download it at 
https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/releases/tag/v3.1.0-RC1 or test 
it out without downloading at http://test.archivesspace.org/staff  (username 
admin /password admin).

This release includes a number of accessibility improvements, particularly to 
the public interface. Many of these were identified in an accessibility audit 
conducted by Deque across the open source applications that make their homes at 
LYRASIS, which include DSpace, CollectionSpace, and ArchivesSpace. It also 
includes specific bug fixes and small feature improvements prioritized by the 
Development Prioritization sub-team.

A particular thanks to our Testing sub-team for their work testing individual 
JIRAs and doing regression testing across the application.

Please try this release candidate out and let us know at 
archivesspaceh...@lyrasis.org by 
September 14 if you notice any problems with the specific areas addressed in 
this release, or if anything that was working before no longer is. Pending the 
results of this testing, we will aim to release the production version of 3.1.0 
shortly afterwards.

This is the spring/summer 2021 release from the 
roadmap.
 Items that were projected for this release that did not make it in have been 
shifted to future releases.

Please get in touch if you have any questions. Thanks as always for your 
feedback and support.

Christine
