Hi Dale, Arches-HIP was originally a specific application *built on top of* Arches version 3, which included definitions for 6 standard resource types, data input forms and report templates for those resource types, as well as a set of concepts (controlled vocabulary). With that in mind, check this out as well: http://arches-hip.readthedocs.io/en/latest/overview/#what-is -arches-hip. In practice, arches-hip became the main entry point for developers working with version 3, as a typical workflow was to install arches and arches-hip, and then make new app from the arches-hip app template and then customize this new app.
So Arches-HIP proper (especially the arches_hip python package) *is* only for v3. There are many projects out there still using v3, but no, that version is not officially supported at this time. I personally would love to be able to make some upgrades to v3 to 1) move to Django 1.11 2) upgrade Python and 3) (maybe) wrap arches-hip directly into the main codebase... however, I have not been able to put any meaningful work toward that effort, and don't know when I will be able to. However, as you may have noticed, there is an "Arches-HIP" appendix in the v4 documentation. I realize that is a little confusing, so I've just made some changes to clarify things a little. What we have in v4 is an example package (please see Next steps... <http://arches.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installation/#next-steps> at the end of the installation docs) whose contents closely resembles the original Arches-HIP resource types from version 3. That's what is documented in the appendix, and it's intended to give users a full set of branches and resource models right away. I hope that clarifies things, and thanks for asking!
