Summary:

DSpace 1.7.2 is a minor bug fix release that addressed three issues that cropped up since DSpace 1.7.1. As it only provides bug-fixes, DSpace 1.7.1 should constitute an easy upgrade from DSpace 1.7.0 for most users. No database changes or additional configuration changes should be necessary when upgrading from DSpace 1.7.0 to 1.7.2. The issues that DSpace 1.7.2 addresses are:

• DS-841 Fixed Oracle database support for administrative tasks on ePerson.
• DS-875 Fixed an error message from being spit out when using the DSpace CLI Launcher.
• DS-871 Fixed a caching issue in "Recent Submissions" listing for XMLUI.

Changes

The following fixes are the changes between DSpace 1.7.1 and 1.7.2. Additionally, these fixes were applied to the trunk line of development so future releases such as DSpace 1.8 will have the fixes.
