Update on NAS latest tests and developments
Release of NetarchiveSuite 8.2 that adds fixes to CrawlRSS and includes Heritrix version 3.14.1. (latest version date): https://github.com/netarchivesuite/netarchivesuite/releases/tag/netarchivesuite-8.2
Team Indsamling (collection team) would like to plan the next release. If there are any fixes from BNF or others, we would like to know so that Team Indsamling can plan to post them before BNF's broad crawl. Team Indsamling have a workshop on Tuesday and therefore cannot participate at the NAS-meeting.
Question: Were there Heritrix upgrades and if yes, were there done on IIPC repository?

Our annual selective harvest has just ended. We archived more than 268 million URLs during 6 weeks for a total budget of 20.84 TB.
Our special blog crawl is almost complete. All the queues are finished except for the Centerblogs queue due to blockages. The new system implemented this year - 4 queues opened at the same time, one per blogging platform - is working well and allows us to shorten the crawl duration.
Finally, we have just launched the Pharmacovigilance harvest, produced within the framework of a research project led by Solène Lellinger, lecturer in history and philosophy of health at Paris Cité University. The harvest comprises 146 selections covering the following main areas: pharmacovigilance, pharmacoepidemiology, the public health network (university hospital centers, regional pharmacovigilance centers, etc.), patient associations, professional federations, pharmaceutical companies and research laboratories. The selections were made in collaboration with the various teams participating in the research project.

Due to issues with the NAS upgrade to version 8.0, we have had to postpone the execution of the broad crawls.
The annual broad crawl of the .gal domain (Galicia) has been completed, covering 4 700 domains and 0.18 TB of data.
We are currently working on launching the .eus domain harvest (Basque Country) and preparing the .es domain harvest, which this year are around 2 100 000 domains.
We are also working on “small events” related to the Pope’s visit to Spain and the total solar eclipse on 12th August.
