DSpace 6.x Release Notes have been incorporated into the DSpace 6.x documentation wiki. The content of that page, and this one, is similar, but it's not a perfect duplicate. This page is for coordinating and planning DSpace Release 6.0, and for communicating this status information to the community. This Release Status page is a historical document, with much of the same material. |

AWS S3 Bitstream Storage | A refactor of the Bitstream Storage Manager to allow different implementations for file/bitstream storage. The primary motivation is leverage a cloud service, such as Amazon S3, which offers easy management, infinite scalability, and low pricing. Other storage implementations could be built off of this work. This follows the DSpace 2.0 goal of having a Pluggable Assetstore.

Move LNI into a separate project | As LNI is not in wide use anymore, and it was disabled by default in 5.0, it probably would be best to migrate it to a separate GitHub Project. Anyone who wishes to still use LNI can still install it separately. But, it would no longer be provided out-of-the-box.
