Sprint 3: Oct 1-12, 2018

Sprint Summary

Our third (virtual) community sprint featured eight developers and three coaches, representing eleven institutions and five countries. Six sprint participants had participated in a previous sprint. It's wonderful to see their continued progress and support for DSpace, while also seeing two new people join the effort!

During the two-week sprint, seven Pull Requests (PRs) were developed, approved & merged into DSpace 7, with another seven PRs still in-progress. On the Angular UI side, we saw new translations of the existing UI (Czech, Dutch and German) along with bug fixes / minor enhancements.  On the REST API side, we saw the creation of new endpoints (for creating communities and groups), enhanced Submission functionality, OpenSearch support and numerous bug fixes.

• Completed
  • REST API: #2187, #2228, #2232, #2238
  • Angular UI: #296, #297, #300, #303
