titleHelp us Test DSpace 3.0!

DSpace Testathon 3.0 (round 2) is going on from Monday, Nov 5 through Friday, Nov 9!  Help us to test DSpace 3.0!  For more information see the DSpace Release 3.0 Testathon Page.

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
