Note
titleDSpace 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
