  • Updated Submission forms "<regex>" tag to use a common extended regular expression format.
  • "Back to Results" button appears on Item pages when browsing/searching and clicking on an Item. This allows you to easily return to your prior browse/search. (Donated by Michael Spalti)
  • Fixed breadcrumbs to display full object names on hover over (Donated by eScire)
  • Facet search box on the main search interface can now search all words in a phrase facet value (previously it only searched the first word)

  • Fixed issue where thumbnails were sometimes generated with no permissions, making them not able to be displayed in the UI.
  • Fixed issue where submission forms listed Collections in the Collection dropdown in a random order. They are now ordered by Title (Donated by Arvo Consultores y Tecnología. S.L)
  • Fixed issue where scripts are listed in the start new process dropdown in a random order. They are now order alphabetically (Donated by 4Science)
  • Fixed issues where configured Creative Commons jurisdiction was being ignored & locale wasn't returning translated questions (Donated by Toni Prieto)

  • Fixed issue where an Item could not be deleted if it had a "Request for Copy".
  • Allow users to enhance ImageMagick generated PDF thumbnails via a new "density" setting & fixed layout issues with some PDF thumbnails. (Donated by Alan Orth)
  • CSS variables can now be used in all HTML templates.  See https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/pull/1853

7.3 Release Notes

Info
titleDSpace 7.3 was released on June 27, 2022

To upgrade to DSpace 7.3 from 7.x or any prior version, see Upgrading DSpace.

To install DSpace 7.3 for the first time, see Installing DSpace.

DSpace 7.3 provides new features & bug fixes to the 7.x platform.

New and improved features include:

...

Major bug fixes / improvements include:

  • Major frontend performance improvements: initial page load is much quicker.  All assets are now zipped/minified.  Caching improvements.
  • Frontend can be easily run from a subpath (e.g. https://my.university.edu/dspace) (Donated by Harvard University, developed by William Welling )
  • "custom" theme was throwing TypeErrors in 7.2. That has been fixed.
  • Renamed "private/public" status to be "non-discoverable/discoverable", which is more accurate. This item status just meant the item was not findable/discoverable through DSpace search/browse. It has nothing to do with whether the item is accessible or not accessible anonymously.
  • Added "Now Showing..." informational counts to all Browse By pages (similar to in 6.x)
  • Changed Browse "jump to" boxes to act as a filter, rather than jumping to a specific page. Updated display to make this clearer.
  • Fixed several bugs related to resource policies
    • Couldn't set an end date on a resource policy in some situations
    • Couldn't edit an existing resource policy (previously you had to delete & recreate the policy)
  • Fixed bug where resubmitting an Item move could result in Item deletion.
  • Fixed several bugs in submission form, including
    • Improved form validation and error display
    • Occasionally, null metadata values were being saved
    • In some scenarios, submissions could be completed without agreeing to license.
    • Fixed bug where Creative Commons step wasn't loading properly when configured
    • Fixed bug where radio buttons were not working properly when submission field was set as a "list" that was not repeatable.
    • Fixed several bugs in bitstream editing form
  • Fixed bug with browse by issue date wouldn't work if it encountered an invalid date in the first item. (Donated by 4Science)
  • Fixed bug where bitstream edit page wouldn't load if a bitstream's access policies were all deleted.
  • Fixed bug where restricted bitstream downloads were not checking a user's "special groups" which may provide them permissions. (Donated by 4Science)
  • Frontend has been upgraded to Angular 13.
  • Backend has been updated to Spring Boot 2.6
  • Numerous other dependency updates
  • See the 7.3 milestone for frontend and backend for a list of all changes applied in 7.3.

7.2.1 Release Notes (Backend Only)

...

titleAll DSpace 7.0, 7.1 or 7.2 sites should ensure the backend is upgraded to 7.2.1 (or later) or manually patched

...

DSpace 7.2.1 only contains an update to the Apache Spring Libraries to ensure DSpace is not vulnerable to CVE-2022-22965.  As such, it was only a Backend / REST API release.  The DSpace 7.2 Frontend (UI) can be used with the DSpace 7.2.1 Backend.

To ensure your 7.x site is completely secure, perform the following:

  1. Upgrade your DSpace backend (REST API) to version 7.2.1 immediately.  This backend is compatible with the DSpace Frontend version 7.2 (only)
    1. If you are unable to perform this upgrade, you may patch your 7.0 or 7.1 site by applying the changes in PR #8231.  Instructions can be found in that PR.
  2. Optionally, upgrade your Apache Tomcat to version 9.0.62 (which also has extra guards against this vulnerability). 
  3. Make sure to restart Tomcat after updates have been applied.

At this time, DSpace 6.x and below appear unaffected by CVE-2022-22965, as they all used Java/JDK 8 (or below) which is documented as not impacted.  The vulnerability is only possible when using Java/JDK 9 or above.

7.2 Release Notes

Info
titleDSpace 7.2 was released on February 7, 2022

To try out DSpace 7.2 immediately, see Try out DSpace 7.   This includes instructions for a quick-install via Docker, as well as information on our sandbox/demo site for DSpace 7.

To upgrade to DSpace 7.2 from 7.x or any prior version, see Upgrading DSpace.

To install DSpace 7.2 for the first time, see Installing DSpace.

DSpace 7.2 provides new features & bug fixes to the 7.x platform.

New and improved features include:

  • Runtime Configuration for the User Interface (Donated by Harvard University, developed by William Welling ): In DSpace 7.0 and 7.1, changes to your User Interface Configuration required rebuilding the entire UI (which could take 10+ minutes). As of 7.2, all User Interface configurations are loaded at runtime. So, to change configurations just requires a quick restart of the User Interface (which usually takes only a few seconds).  The configuration format also changed from Typescript to YAML to support this feature. A "yarn env:yaml" migration script is provided to migrate the old format to the new one. See User Interface Configuration for more details.
  • Add Item Embargoes / Restrictions in the Submission User Interface: A new, optional "itemAccessConditions" step exists in the Submission configuration. Enabling it adds a section which allows you to select access restrictions, embargoes or leases. It also allows you to select whether the Item is discoverable via search/browse.  See Submission User Interface and Embargo documentation for details.
  • Feedback Form: A feedback form is now linked in the footer of every page, as long as a "feedback.recipient" is specified in your local.cfg. This feature allow users to contact the configured "feedback.recipient" from any page in the site.
  • OpenID Connect (OIDC) Authentication Plugin (Ported from the DSpace-CRIS project by Hardy Pottinger of California Digital Library, with support from 4Science):  DSpace now supports single sign on using OpenID Connect (OIDC), which allows it to support authentication through providers such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon, etc. For more information on setting this up, see the Authentication Plugins page.
  • IIIF Enhancements (Donated by Michael Spalti of Willamette University): Includes support for adding IIIF metadata using Importing and Exporting Items via Simple Archive Format, editing IIIF bitstream metadata from the User Interface (when editing an existing Bitstream), and a new "./dspace iiif-canvas-dimensions" CLI tool for auto-populating IIIF canvas dimensions in bulk.
  • Running "filter-media" (Mediafilters) from Processes User Interface.  Administrators can now run the "filter-media" script from the Admin UI ("Processes" menu), in order to immediately update thumbnails, full text indexing, etc. See Mediafilters for Transforming DSpace Content for more details about this script.
  • Improved support for custom "Browse By" configurations. User Interface "Browse by" options are now retrieved dynamically from the REST API, based on the backend's configured browse by indexes (see "webui.browse.index.*" options documented in the Configuration Reference)
  • Backend has added support for JDK 17. The DSpace backend now supports either JDK 11 or JDK 17.
  • Frontend has been upgraded to Angular 11.
  • Solr now uses a connection pool by default (Donated by Mark H. Wood of IUPUI). See Configuration Reference for details of new "solr.client.*" configs in dspace.cfg.

Major bug fixes include:

  • User interface would load indefinitely if the REST API was unavailable. Now, an error page is displayed to let you know the REST API is unresponsive.
  • User Interface deployment required the "node_modules" folder to exist, making it more difficult to containerize (e.g. Docker). Now, the UI can be deployed via only the "dist" folder.  See https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues/1410 (Donated by Harvard University, developed by William Welling)
  • Searches with invalid syntax or special characters would load indefinitely. Now an error is displayed if the syntax is invalid in some way.
  • On Item page, very long metadata fields or file names would break the page layout
  • When an Item had an invalid or empty "dspace.entity.type" metadata field, it was unable to be deleted.
  • On Submission page, if you drag & drop a file to start a submission, the Collection selection window sometimes did not load properly.
  • On Submission page, sometimes the "Deposit" button would not enable even when all required fields are filled out.  "Deposit" button is now always enabled, but it will block submission if required fields are missing.
  • On Submission page, fixed several bugs with editing / setting embargoes or access restrictions on uploaded files.
  • Statistics were always accessible publicly, even if restricted to Administrators. Statistics now are only accessible to Admins when usage-statistics.authorization.admin.usage is set to true in local.cfg
  • Administrators were not able to reset passwords of other users.
  • On Processes page, scripts could not be run without parameters.  Additionally, fixed display of dates so they always appear as UTC time
  • When both Shibboleth and DSpace password authentication were enabled, users were able to change their password in DSpace in order to bypass Shibboleth.
  • On backend, improved indexing performance. (Donated by 4Science)
  • On backend, improved file download performance to avoid connection leaks when S3 is used as backend storage.
  • Numerous other minor bug fixes or accessibility improvements. See the 7.2 milestone for frontend and backend for a list of all changes applied in 7.2.

New/Updated Language support:

  • Scottish Gaelic (Gàidhlig) user interface support added (Donated by Donald I Macdonald and Stòrlann Nàiseanta na Gàidhlig)
  • German (Deutsch) user interface support had a syntax error which caused it not to work properly

7.1.1 Release Notes (Backend Only)

Warning
titleAll DSpace 7.0 or 7.1 sites should ensure the backend is upgraded to 7.1.1 (or above) or manually patched

DSpace 7.0 and 7.1 both used a bundled version of the Apache Log4j Library vulnerable to RCE (remote command execution).  The CVE-2021-44228 vulnerability is described in more detail at https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-44228 and https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/security.html#Fixed_in_Log4j_2.15.0

DSpace 7.1.1 only contains an update to the Apache Log4j Library to ensure DSpace is not vulnerable to CVE-2021-44228.  As such, it was only a Backend / REST API release.  The DSpace 7.1 Frontend (UI) can be used with the DSpace 7.1.1 Backend.

To ensure your 7.x site is completely secure, perform ALL the following:

  1. Upgrade your DSpace backend (REST API) to version 7.1.1 immediately.  This backend is compatible with the DSpace Frontend version 7.1
    1. If you are unable to perform this upgrade, you may patch your 7.0 or 7.1 site by applying the changes in PR #8065.  Specifically, update your ./pom.xml to have <log4j.version>2.15.0</log4j.version>. Then rebuild & redeploy your backend. Make sure to restart Tomcat.
  2. Upgrade to Apache Solr v8.11.1 (or above), to ensure your Solr is patched for CVE-2021-44228
    1. If you are unable to perform this upgrade, you may patch your current Solr by ensuring that `-Dlog4j2.formatMsgNoLookups=true` is specified in your `SOLR_OPTS` environment variable. For more information, see https://solr.apache.org/security.html#apache-solr-affected-by-apache-log4j-cve-2021-44228
  3. If you use the Handle.Net Registry Support in DSpace 7.x, make sure to restart your Handle Server. This will ensure it is using the new version of log4j as well.

At this time, DSpace 6.x and below appear unaffected by CVE-2021-44228, as they all used log4j v1 exclusively with a default configuration that is not impacted.

Info
titleAdditional log4j patch available for 7.x

Immediately after version 7.1.1 was released, the log4j community announced a secondary, less severe vulnerability (CVE-2021-45046) which was patched in a log4j v 2.16.0 release.

This fix is NOT included in 7.1.1. But, you can immediately apply this secondary patch by applying the changes in https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/8070.  This is again a one line change.  Simply update your ./pom.xml to have <log4j.version>2.16.0</log4j.version>. Then rebuild & redeploy your backend.

7.1 Release Notes

Note
titleWe highly recommend ALL DSpace 7.0 users upgrade to 7.1

DSpace 7.1 contains a security fix to the backend (REST API) for all sites running 7.0.  See CVE-2021-41189 for details.

Info
titleDSpace 7.1 was released on November 1, 2021

To try out DSpace 7.1 immediately, see Try out DSpace 7.   This includes instructions for a quick-install via Docker, as well as information on our sandbox/demo site for DSpace 7.

To upgrade to DSpace 7.1 from 7.0 or any prior version, see Upgrading DSpace.

To install DSpace 7.0 for the first time, see Installing DSpace.

DSpace 7.1 provides new features, security & bug fixes to the 7.x platform.

New and improved features include:

...

  • Item Versioning is enabled by default, but can be disabled via configuration.
  • Entities are not yet supported for Versioning.

...

Security fixes include:

  • [HIGH] CVE-2021-41189: In 7.0, a Community or Collection Admin could escalate their permissions to become a full Administrator. A quick fix is also provided for sites running 7.0. (Reported by Andrea Bollini of 4Science) 

Major bug fixes include:

  • Major performance improvements to UI and REST API
    • In 7.0, several UI pages (Homepage, MyDSpace, Search, etc) would respond slowly if a large number of Communities & Collections existed in the system.  Performance has been drastically improved in 7.1.
  • In Submission form, the "administrator" Bitstream access condition was fixed. Previously, depending on Collection's "DEFAULT_READ" settings, the "administrator" permission limitation may not have worked properly.  See https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/8013
  • In Login form, some special characters in passwords were not accepted.  This was the result of an encoding error which is now fixed. See https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues/1367
  • In "Edit Item" on "Bitstreams" tab, the upload button was not working properly. This has been fixed. See https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues/1286
  • In "Edit Item" on "Relationships" tab, it was difficult to manage Entities with many relationships. This has been improved. See https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues/1148
  • Google Analytics reporting has been moved to an asynchronous/batch script to improve performance. See https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/2248
  • Numerous other minor bug fixes or accessibility improvements. See the 7.1 milestone for frontend and backend for a list of all changes applied in 7.1.
