7.6.3 and 8.1 Release

• Want to get performance related fixes reviewed and tested before release
• Tentative deadline for release is end of January, depending on how the work on performance related PRs progresses
• Reviewed PRs that need code review / testing:
  • Separate REST APIs for public and private
    • Giuseppe has been working on the backend, got updated today; he is also working on the front end
    • Need help in testing this; feedback from at least 1 individual in a realistic (similar to production) test environment would be very welcome
    • Tim will try it out on his end, but is missing the realistic test environment
    • Goal is to get this tested within the next week

• • Discussed other performance-related PRs:
    • Front-end:
      • #3709: feedback on this is welcome; consider making this configurable
      • #3694: is moving forward, if anyone wants to take a look, please feel free to do so
      • #3682: had a lot of testing and feedback recently; want to add it to the config.example file; if anyone else wants to take a look, please do so
    • Back-end:
      • #10076: no updates on this PR; would be great to get further testing and reviewing on this
      • #10030: reviewers and testers needed; not a large PR; updates the CSV export process; Nick will review
      • #9869: Currently a merge conflict, needs to get updated; anyone who wants to help testing this is welcome

Ongoing Discussions

• High CPU with DSpace 7 SSR: no updates
• Simplifying the Installation Process: if you have ideas, reach out to Tim; good to have done sooner than later 

9.0 Board Review Discussion

• Discussed #9804
• Discussed #3307: large PR, updating translation files; contains merge conflicts; probably good for 9.0, but hard to backport

Action items

•  Start a discussion around squashing PRs on the mailing list Kim Shepherd
