Comment: Updates related to 7.4 release plan

Note
titleRoadMap for 7.4 (due to be released in October 2022)

The 7.4 release will concentrate on maintenance tasks (bug fixes, usability fixes, etc) to help ensure that sites planning upgrades to 7.x have an excellent experience. We will also attempt to include features which just missed the 7.3 release (listed below as "Delayed until 7.4In development"), along with any features donated by community members. Donated features must be submitted based on the following deadlines to be included in 7.4 (otherwise, they will be rescheduled for 7.5):

  • By August 1, institutions wishing to donate features should "announce" their intentions by either creating a GitHub issue ticket for the donated feature, or commenting on an existing ticket asking to claim it for 7.4.  Tim Donohue and the DSpace 7 Working Group will discuss suggested donated features & provide advice and/or suggestions based on available reviewer resources.  Very large or complex feature may be delayed for 7.5, though development can begin immediately as necessary.
  • By August 26, any donated features must have Pull Request(s) containing suggested code changes corresponding to the feature.  These PR(s) will then be assigned to reviewers to provide feedback on code, etc.
  • During September, the DSpace 7 Working Group will review/approve donated PRs.  Members of this team may provide feedback or requests for changes to the PR(s).  We ask that you be responsive, as all PRs must be merged before the end of September – any not merged will be delayed for 7.5.

Please get in touch with Tim Donohue if you have any questions about donating features back to this release.
