Release date: 2024-12-09
This patch release corrects issues related to dates handling in METS and to file format analysis on nested archive files.
METS
- The value of the (mandatory) attribute CREATEDATE under metsHdr, are now set to the time of METS-file creation
(not the non mandatory archive extraction date provided by the user or, if it is not, a system default datetime). - Arkade is now creating a dedicated fileGrp element under fileSec, for archive extraction files (i.e. files from the content directory), with the value of the attribute USE set to "ArchiveExtraction".
- If an extraction date is provided by the user, the (non mandatory) attribute VERSDATE is added to the ArchiveExtraction specific fileGrp element mentioned above, and the given extraction date is written as value to it.
- Under loading of an existing/external METS xml file, a VERSDATE value is interpreted as an extraction date if it is found under a single instance of a filGrp element having a USE attribute with the value "ArchiveExtraction".
File format analysis
- An error, causing the PRONOM file format analysis (with Siegfried) to abort when run on input data with nested archive files (e.g. zip/tar under zip/tar), has been corrected.
