DSpace Development never stops! DSpace 8.0 is almost here, and with it arrive new features, improvements, bug-fixes, changes, etc.

...

WHO: You! Everyone is invited to take part. Whether you manage multiple instances, or are interested in trying it out, we welcome your feedback.

WHAT: Help beta-test DSpace 8.0 to ensure that it passes its ultimate test: that it does what users expect it to. We've added new features that could use more eyes, browsers, and mouse-clicks to make sure that things aren't missing, that they don't break, that they don't lose your data, and that they easily do what one expects them to do. So if any features have issues while your testing it.

WHEN: Monday, April 1 8 through Friday, April 1219, 2024. You can keep visiting the site and post your feedback, as part of continual improvement.

WHY: The sooner we find and fix bugs, the higher quality the software will be when it comes time to upgrade or install DSpace 8.0.

HOW: Go to link needed and https://sandbox.dspace.org/ and test-drive the new user interface. We're looking for feedback on the DSpace software, as well as feedback on our unreleased DSpace 8.0 documentation link needed.

• Optionally, you can also run and test DSpace 8 locally.

WHERE: The test plan to record test results for link needed is https://sandbox.dspace.org/ is available at http://bit.ly/dspace-7-test-plan

...

There are upgrades to the DSpace documentation for version 8.0. Volunteers are needed to review it for clarity and accuracy. Visit the DSpace 8.x Documentation link needed page DSDOC8x page for more info.
