  • Tentative release date is January 30
  • Tim has created an 8.1/7.6.3 "to do" list (see agenda at the top of this page), things that we want to get done before we cut the release
    • If you see anything missing from this list, please add it
    • Restrict Angular SSR to paths in sitemap (#3682)
      • small PR; Tim has been testing this, plans to merge it within the next 24 hrs; if you have any feedback before it's merged, please add a comment
    • Using both public/private REST API URLs for better performance
      • Frontend (#3358): Works well, but Tim found some bugs (e.g. authentication not working at the moment, see Tim's comment in PR), need to address those 
      • Backend (#9856): Looks good
    • Exclude search & browse components from Angular SSR (#3709)
      • Seems to work, but there is a visible flash when the page reloads; need to figure out if we can minimize or eliminate that; Tim will re-review (initial review seems lost in GitHub); needs more testing
    • Prevent request with page size of 9999 (#3694)
      • Moving along, Art has been testing; Tim added as secondary tester
    • Support configurable limit for exporting items (#10030)
      • Relatively small; needs reviewers
    • Processes should only be failed after a Tomcat restart (#10158)
      • This is a fix to a fix since last release; Tim can review, others welcome to review as well; Andrea volunteered to review
    • Fix issue where scoped browse throws errors (#3845)
      • If anyone wants to help test it, please feel free to look at it
    • On error in DOI organizer bulk operations, continue instead of stopping (#9835)
      • Optional, relevant to those who use DOIs; two PRs that are somewhat conflicting (#9835 vs. #9869), need reviewing and testing of these; Giuseppe and Vincenzo added

Other topics

  • Discussion of CMS-activities in DSpace: Several new PRs are adding some basic CMS-light options into DSpace's user interface 
    • Discussed the advantages/disadvantages of allowing custom CSS injection
    • Highlighted that this would put a different spin on DSpace 
    • DSpace-CRIS already does this to a limited extent
    • Need to discuss this further, possibly within the context of the DSpace and DSpace-CRIS merger
