JHOVE 1.22 release candidate 2 is now available for download and testing at: http://software.openpreservation.org/releases/jhove-RC.jar. JHOVE is an open source file format identification, validation and characterisation tool for digital preservation, and part of the OPF reference toolset. The major new features of this release are the addition of error IDs and the separation of modules from the installation. There are now permanent and unique IDs for all JHOVE error and information messages. This means error catching need no longer be done by string matching. The modules are now individually versioned and packaged so users can now select, keep and update modules as they choose. This has meant making changes to every one of JHOVE’s main modules. There is a blog on the OPF website describing the fixes from the first release candidate, and the inclusion of a couple of new pull requests from members here: https://openpreservation.org/blog/2019/04/02/jhove-1-22-release-candidate-2/ . If you experience any issues with the new release candidate please report them on the GitHub issue tracker https://github.com/openpreserve/jhove/issues before Tuesday 9 April. Just a quick reminder that our JHOVE Hack Week takes place on 8-12 April. Join us to help improve JHOVE for all - everyone is welcome!
