3.0 Decisions To Be Documented

  • Where should translations of individual modules like Discovery go? Including them in the main messages.xml currently works. This should be answered before freeze time, it already poses another barrier for commiting of translations, see DS-1049, DS-1054. This is a subproblem of i18n Improvements Proposal, but let us not divert this discussion too much to broad topics. ~~helix84
  • ANSWER: In mtg on July 25, we decided the best we likely can do for 3.0 is to suggest that translations of individual modules should just be added to the central messages.xml/messages.properties files. For the full discussion see: http://irclogs.duraspace.org/index.php?date=2012-07-25 (starts: [20:57])
  • Does 3.0 Work with Java 7?
  • ANSWER: Yes, it seems to work with both Oracle JDK 7 and OpenJDK 7. We should test & document it works for both. For full discussion see: http://irclogs.duraspace.org/index.php?date=2012-07-25 (starts: [20:13])
  • Actually, I read the log again and nobody said they're running specifically OpenJDK version 7, but I agree we should support it (I will run it when I upgrade my systems). ~~helix84
  • UPDATE: demo.dspace.org is running OpenJDK 7
  • We recently added a comment on ticket DS-1081 reporting the problems we faced with Oracle JDK 7 (and OpenJDK 7) and the XmlWorkflow. It'd be great if someone could test it and confirm it.
  • Do we need to bump up required/recommended versions of any dependencies? (e.g. Maven, Postgres?)
  • Release Schedule Details
  • Release Coordination
  • Instead of a single "Release Coordinator", the DSpace 3.0 release will be managed by a "Release Team".
  • Release Team Leader: Sands Fish (MIT)
  • Release Team Members:Sands Fish (MIT), Hardy Pottinger (U of Missouri), Robin Taylor (EDINA, U of Edinburgh), Ivan Masár

Timeline and Processing

Note
 

It has been decided that DSpace 3.0 will be released in Fall 2012. The exact date is still being worked out, but will likely be in October/November.

 

Release Timeline:

  • August 24, 2012 : Feature/Code Submission Deadline - New features must be submitted as a GitHub Pull Request by this date. Any new features submitted after this date will not be considered for 3.0.
  • August 31, 2012 : Final Documentation Due Date - Initial documentation for all new features is due.
  • September 14, 2012 : Feature Freeze - This is an internal deadline for the Committers. This is the date by which the Release Team and Committers will have reviewed via Pull Request, and accepted or rejected all contributions made for the 3.0 release. Rejected code has to wait for the next version of DSpace (or is suggested to be released separate from the current release as a "third party add-on", if applicable).
