Version 1.4

New and improved in Amber v1.4 for WordPress:

• Storage of snapshots in other locations. You can now choose to store snapshots on one or more third party storage and archiving systems: the Internet Archive, Perma.cc, and Amazon Web Services (S3). You can enable this feature to free up space, take advantage of donated host space, or simply to contribute to existing web archival efforts. Remember: lots of copies keeps stuff safe!
• Display of snapshots from other archives. Amber can now also display to your visitors alternative versions of a URL from other archives, including the Internet Archive, the Library of Congress Web Archive, Archive-It, archive.is, Webcite, and more. If enabled, you can display to your visitors the Amber snapshot in addition to other available versions of the same page--providing even more routes to linked content. This is made possible through expanded support of the Memento protocol and the Memento project's "time travel" and "TimeGate" concepts.
• Compatibility with academic efforts to retrieve more accurate data. This release defined parameters for Amber users to benefit from academic research efforts on Internet activity and content controls. The Berkman Center's Internet Monitor project compiles and curates quantitative data to give policy makers, digital activists, and researchers. Primary data collected by the Berkman Center and our partners, as well as relevant secondary data, will one day help answer the difficult question of "Which URLs are down for whom, where, when, and why?" While such a complete system is not in operation right now, eventually users of Amber can enable this feature to benefit from (by retrieving and contributing) such data.
