*Arches 4.0.1 released!* The Arches team has been busy trying to improve Arches and fix a several bugs as well. Below you'll find a listing of all the changes that are included in the latest release.
Some of the highlights: - Added advanced search capability - Added the ability to import shapefiles into Arches - Containerized Arches with Docker ([readme](https://github.com/archesproject/arches/blob/master/docker/Readme.md)) - Thanks to Vincent Meijer! - Several performance improvements - Many small improvements to the RDM - Upgraded to Postgres 9.6 - Many other small improvements *Upgrading Postgres* Because of the upgrade to Postgres 9.6, users will have to install Postgres 9.6 and migrate any Arches databases to the 9.6 version. Be aware that multiple versions of Postgres can be run simultaneously on different ports, so users can maintain their older versions of the Arches database until they are satisfied that the migration was successful. Using the backup/restore options with PgAdmin4 is probably the easiest way to perform the upgrade. *Upgrading Arches* Users are encouraged to update at their earliest convenience. Completely re-installing Arches is the easiest way to accomplish this. If you can't completely re-install Arches (because you have data in the system that you want to preserve) then you'll need to upgrade by running the following commands in your activated virtual environment (make sure you migrate your database to Postges 9.6 first): ``` pip install arches --upgrade python manage.py migrate ``` As always the documentation can be found at http://arches4.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ *Changes* - Change Postgres version from 9.5 to 9.6 - Add Docker integration, re #1650 - Thanks to Vincent Meijer! - Updated project templates with TILE_CACHE_CONFIG setting, re #1662 - Don't allow the system settings graph to be managed as a resource graph, re #1636 - Add vector simplification and make a system setting - Add resource instance datatype and widget #2305 - Changing the ResourceXResource relationshiptype property from a foreign key to the Value table to a string so that it supports both concept value uuids (as strings) and ontology property strings., re #2300 - Remove Networkx package anymore, re #2306 - Added advanced search component re #2315 - Implemented xy input in search, re #2323 - Add our own arches specific additions to the crm, re #2306 - Loading selected point coordinates into xy tool, re #2323 - make sure users don't reload the same ontology multiple times (based on file name), re #2306 - Refactored code to be more readable and use revised folder structure.
