September 6:  The third release candidate of 6.0 (Release Candidate #3) is now available for download and testing. This is a pre-release of 6.0, and we hope that the 6.0 final release will follow closely in its footsteps.  However, we'd appreciate additional testers to help us verify no additional major bugs or issues exist in the 6.0 codebase.

From April 25 through May 6, 2016 we are hosting our 6.0 Testathon! We ask that you take a few minutes of your time in these coming weeks to help us fully test this new release. We want to ensure we are maintaining the same level of quality that you come to expect out of a new DSpace release. We'd also love to hear your early feedback on 6.0!
