Additionally, by July 2023, we anticipate having completed at least 3-4 additional 7.x releases:

• 7.3 is due in (late) June was released on June 27, 2022
• 7.4 is (tentatively) scheduled for Oct was released on Oct 10, 2022
• 7.5 is (tentatively) scheduled for Feb was released on Feb 20, 2023
• 7.6 is (tentatively) scheduled for June 2023

If you or your institution would like to support feature development in 7.x to help ensure we are able to meet these goals, please consider donating to the DSpace Development Fund. This fund goes directly to 7.x development and ensures that each new release includes as many new features as we can fund.

We are aware of a few external sites/tools which already directly integrate with DSpace 7. This list is likely incomplete:
