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:*

   - Arches now saves a resource instance only after a tile is saved
   - Adds the ability for users to reset forgotten passwords
   - Displays tile edits in edit history rather than recently created 
   resources
   - Allows users to add custom popup content for overlay features
   - Enables import and export of node and resource instance datatypes
   - Prevents displaying or zooming to restricted resources in the search 
   page
   - Allows admins to specify a local coordinate system for more accurate 
   search buffer calculations
   - Many other small improvements
   


*Upgrading Arches*


Users are encouraged to update at their earliest convenience.  Because this 
is a micro release, it is only necessary for most users to upgrade rather 
than reinstall arches.


You can upgrade by running the following command in your activated virtual 
environment:



    pip install arches --upgrade
 



If you have Arches running on a web server such as Apache, be sure to 
update your static files directory and restart your web server.


As always the documentation can be found at 
http://arches4.readthedocs.io/en/stable/



*Upgrading an Arches project*


If you created a project using 4.1.0, your exiting project should work with 
4.1.1. However, you may want to add the ANALYSIS_COORDINATE_SYSTEM_SRID 
setting to your project's settings.py file and assign a local spatial 
reference (SRID) relevant to your project. This will make search buffer 
distances more accurate.

Note - the units of the coordinate system must be meters.
