Welcome to Release 5.9, a bug-fix release for the DSpace 5.x platform. For information on upgrading to DSpace 5, please see Upgrading DSpace.
5.10 Release Notes
Note | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
Unfortunately, bug fixes in the DSpace 5.9 release resulted in issues running DSpace 5.9 on Java 7, and with running the REST API and RDF interfaces. These issues are being resolved in an upcoming 5.10 release (see below for more details). Sites which are dependent on one of these features should consider upgrading directly from DSpace 5.8 to 5.10. |
Summary
DSpace 5.10 is a bug fix release to resolve JAR dependency issues found in DSpace 5.9 for users running Java 7 (regardless of Tomcat version).
This release also addresses a bug in the DSpace 5.9 release that prevented VIEW statistics from being logged by DSpace.
Other minor bug fixes have been included in the release.
Major bug fixes include
Jira server DuraSpace JIRA serverId c815ca92-fd23-34c2-8fe3-956808caf8c5 key DS-4000 Jira server DuraSpace JIRA serverId c815ca92-fd23-34c2-8fe3-956808caf8c5 key DS-4020
Other fixes include
Jira server DuraSpace JIRA serverId c815ca92-fd23-34c2-8fe3-956808caf8c5 key DS-4007 To fully realize the benefit of this fix, a full discover reindex is recommended.
- If you don't reindex, newly added bitstreams would no longer display the file metadata in their index. (But, old bitstreams would still continue to display file metadata until you do a full reindex).
- Institutions unaffected/unconcerned by this bug do not need to reindex. If you do choose to reindex, then the bug would be fully fixed
In addition, this release fixes a variety of minor bugs in the 5.x releases. For more information, see the Changes section below.
Upgrade Instructions
- For upgrade instructions from ANY PRIOR VERSION to 5.10, please see Upgrading DSpace
- When upgrading from any 5.x version, if you're reusing your 5.x configuration, make sure to change all instances of Filter attribute "red" to "ref" (e.g. <Filter red="exampleFilter" /> to <Filter ref="exampleFilter" />) in [dspace]/config/crosswalks/oai/xoai.xml. "red" was a temporary workaround for a bug (xoai issue #32), which was first fixed in DSpace 5.4.
