Notes

Release of DSpace 7.6.2

DSpace 7.6.2 was released on Tuesday, July 9, 2024. Tim Donohue thanked all committers for their work and their contributions towards version 7.6.2.


Discussed management of bug-fixes to both 7.6.x and 8.x

  • We are now maintaining three branches on GitHub (9.0, 8.x, 7.x)
  • Pull requests should be created against the main branch whenever possible
  • Per the support policy, bug-fixes are backported to the most recent major release only (in this case, version 8.0, see DSpace Software Support Policy); therefore bug-fixes will be backported to 7.6.x only if possible; for work on important bug-fixes that will be backported to 7.6.x, everyone is asked to create two pull requests: one for the 7.x branch and one for main
  • Tim will update the pull request template to ensure this rule is noted there. (DONE - for both DSpace and dspace-angular)


Discussed planning and ideas for work on version 9.0

  • Tim reminded the group that we are collecting ideas for the early discussion of what to prioritize for 9.0
  • Anyone is welcome to add ideas to the status board page on the wiki and to capture things we know we need to solve (DSpace Release 9.0 Status) 
  • Alternatively, ideas can be shared via direct messages to Tim Donohue or Holger Lenz, in the developer meetings, or as discussion items on GitHub 
  • Tim and Holger will be part of a smaller working group consisting of steering members to identify feature priorities for DSpace 9.0


Discussed the possible impact of SSR (Server Side Rendering) on performance
