| title | DSpace has changed its release numbering scheme |
|---|
|
With DSpace 3.0, the DSpace Developers will be changing our release numbering scheme. Release numbers will now only consist of two numbers: [major].[minor] (e.g. 3.0, 3.1, 4.0): - Major Releases: incrementing the first number ('major') will represent a new MAJOR release of DSpace. A major release may include any or all of the following:
- new features
- system improvements
- architectural changes
- bug fixes
- (All major releases end in ".0", so "3.0", "4.0", and "5.0" would all represent major releases.)
- Minor (Bug-Fix) Releases: incrementing the second number ('minor') will represent a new MINOR release of DSpace. A minor release will only include:
- bug fixes to an existing major release(For example, "3.1" and "3.2" would represent two minor releases which only include bug fixes to the "3.0" major release.)
There will be a migration path for users upgrading from v1.8.2 to the 3.0 release. For more information see DSpace Release Numbering Scheme and the initial DSpace 3.0 Announcement |

| title | DSpace 3.0 is a scheduled, "time-based" release |
|---|
|
In order to decrease delays in releasing new features and increase transparency, the DSpace Developers have scheduled 3.0 in advance and are basing its features on what we are able to complete within that timeframe.
Scheduling releases benefits us all as it should decrease the delays in releasing new features, and increase the transparency of the development process. The DSpace Developers feel that these benefits will far outweigh the cost of potentially having fewer major features in a given DSpace release. We hope the DSpace Community will also realize the immediate benefits, which should allow them to receive new features more quickly, rather than potentially waiting years for the next major release of the software. The DSpace Developers hope to continue this trend of "time based" releases with all future releases.
