Current Work

Project Boards

...

1. Move forward major features which missed 7.x. 
   1. COAR Notify support (4Science & Harvard): https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/issues/8120 
      1. Development proposal page: Implementation of the COAR Notify protocol in DSpace 8
   2. OpenAIRE integration with notification broker/claim service (4Science)
   3. Porting "REST-Based Quality Control Reports" from old REST API to new one. (U of Laval, Canada)
   4. Duplicate Detection in Submission ported from DSpace-CRIS (The Library Code)
2. Include new features which empower users in the admin UI.  Make things easier for Admins.
3. Accepting community contributions of any 6.x features which missed 7.x
4. Improve documentation, training to allow for greater community contributions.  (Ease setup/install/customization, etc.)
   1. Per DSpace 7 WG meeting on June 29, 2023, this may include dependency upgrades/maintenance (Angular, Spring, Solr, Tomcat, etc).  May also include necessary code updates/refactors to ease in ongoing maintenance. 
5. Release Goal: April 2024
6. In parallel to 8.0, proof of concepts / planning regarding modularization (e.g. 4Science angular proposal) and OCFL/preservation storage (Lyrasis proposal to be discussed in more detail).:
   1. Angular : library-based architecture proposal (4Science)
   2. DSpace Preservation-enabled Storage via OCFL (Lyrasis, post-8.0)

Goals for 7.6.1

• Bug/security fixes only.  Release will occur when sufficient fixes have been made to warrant a release.
  • New "themeable components" (for dspace-angular) are allowed in bug fix releases, provided that they don't significantly modify component behavior or similar.
• Fixes should have two Pull Requests (exceptions may be made for very small fixes)
  1. A PR against the "dspace-7_x" maintenance branch to apply to the next 7.6.x release.
  2. A PR against the "main" branch to fix this same bug for the 8.0 release.
  3. (NOTE: Once one PR is reviewed & approved, the other will be merged at the same time.)
