DSpace 7.0 is under active development, and is tentatively scheduled to be released in early 2019. The current timelines/goals are:
If you or your institution would like to contribute to this release process (which can help us speed up development), we welcome contributors to the DSpace 7 Working Group. We also welcome developers to simply help us review & test new features/improvements (pull requests) as they are developed. Contributing testing and/or code reviews can help us speed up the development feedback loop & get features into the release more quickly. Get in touch with Tim Donohue if you'd like to contribute! |

- A new User Interface based on Angular 2 (to replace XMLUI and JSPUI). This work is going on at https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular
- The goal of the new UI is to implement all major features of both XMLUI and JSPUI in a single, modern UI.
- While additional UI-related features/improvements may come in this release (especially any that are made easier by Angular), we do not anticipate any significant changes to the DSpace backend (except for the REST API, as noted below).
- A refactored/enhanced REST API (using modern REST best practices). This work is going on in the "master" branch of https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace
- Additionally, a new REST Contract (describing all API interactions) is being written at https://github.com/DSpace/Rest7Contract
- Alignment with core recommendations from the COAR Next Generation Repositories Report (http://ngr.coar-repositories.org/). Specifically, DSpace 7 will introduce two technologies deemed of highest priority by this report.
- ResourceSync
- options to install alongside an existing DSpace 5.x or 6.x installation will also be made available
- Signposting
