• Migration from Yarn to NPM. The DSpace User Interface MUST now be built using "npm" commands instead of "yarn". See https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/pull/3173 and https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/blob/main/README.md
• HTML Templates now require "Control Flow" syntax. The user interface now uses Angular Control Flow syntax in all HTML Templates ("*.component.html" files).  This means that all usages of "ngIf" and "ngFor" are now replaced with their equivalent "control flow" syntax (e.g. "@if" and "@for").  This may impact your site during your upgrade if you've customized the HTML of DSpace (either in the source code directly or in custom themes). During your upgrade you will need to migrate your custom HTML files to use "control flow" syntax. You may be able to perform this migration via automated migration tools provided by Angular.
• (Also included in v8.1 and v7.6.3) DSpace has a new, separate command-line log file ([dspace]/log/dspace-cli.log-[date]) for logging the output/results of any scripts that are started from the command-line.  The DSpace backend web application still logs to dspace.log-[date] in the same directory.  You may need to update any local/custom log management scripts to include this new log file.
  • This change was necessary to fix a major bug where the backend webapp would sometimes stop logging if a "logrotate" was triggered. See #9832
