Notes

9.0 Release Updates

The 9.0 release is tentatively planned for April 2025
Updates will be shared as DSpace governance makes decisions as to the prioritization of 9.0 features

9.0 Release Status Board

Reminder: Steering gives general direction, not exact list of features; developers will therefore have some flexibility in terms of what is worked on / developed
While we wait for further direction from governance, the following high priority topics on the 9.0 Release Status Board can be worked on:
- Improving performance / scalability
- Easier installation and upgrades
- Code cleanup / maintenance

Ongoing Discussions

Any ideas can be added directly to the Incentivizing Code Reviews and PR Testing wiki page or sent to Tim
- Special interest can / should be given to
  - Spin up code in virtual environment (quickly) for easier reviews/testing
  - Automated Code Reviewing resources
