Release Notes for NetarchiveSuite 3.12.0

This version of NetarchiveSuite was released on 2010-04-XX. (STILL UNRELEASHED)

TableOfContents

New features since NetarchiveSuite 3.10.*

Major work on improving the bitpreservation infrastructure has been done, like adding a bitpreservation database. This is still highly experimental, and the old bitpreservation framework has not been fully replaced yet. This is expected to happen in the next development release. Global-crawlertraps can be now be uploaded to the database, so they can be inserted into the harvest template during job generation, instead of having them hardwired into the harvest templates.
