Avalon Media System 6.0

We are pleased to announce the release of Avalon Media System 6.0 -- the first official release of Avalon running on Fedora 4. Over the last year, the teams at Indiana University and Northwestern University have worked to redevelop Avalon on Fedora 4 using the latest Hydra components. This release offers full-feature parity with Avalon 5.1. In addition, key areas of the application were retooled to improve performance of complex media objects with many sections.

 

Highlights include:

 

--Updated to use current releases of Hydra components

--New installation methods, including official images for Docker

--Preview version of Avalon 5.x to Avalon 6 migration tool (full migration tool release coming soon)

--Full-feature parity with 5.1
