Tip
titleDSpace 3.6 was officially released to the public on March 21, 2016.

DSpace 3.6 can be downloaded immediately from:

More information on the 3.6 release (and the 3.x platform in general) can be found in the 3.x Documentation Preface.

Upgrade instructions can be found at Upgrading a DSpace Installation

Note
titleWe highly recommend any XMLUI users of DSpace 3.x (or below) upgrade to 3.6

DSpace 3.6 contains a security fix for the XMLUI only. To ensure your 3.x XMLUI site is secure, we highly recommend XMLUI DSpace 3.x users upgrade to DSpace 3.6.

As noted in the 3.4 release notes, we also highly recommend removing any  "allowLinking=true" settings from your Tomcat's <Context> configuration. Previously our installation documentation erroneously listed examples which included "allowLinking=true", while the Tomcat documentation lists it as a possible security concern.

Note
titleWe highly recommend DSpace 1.x.x users upgrade to DSpace 3.6, 4.5 or 5.5

If you are running an older, unsupported version of DSpace (1.x.x), we highly recommend upgrading to DSpace 3.6, DSpace 4.5 or DSpace 5.5 to ensure your site is secure. Per our DSpace Software Support Policy, all DSpace 1.x.x versions are now End-Of-Life.

If you are considering an upgrade from DSpace 1.x.x, note that, as of DSpace 5, your existing data (i.e. database contents, search/browse indexes) will now be automatically upgraded from ANY prior version of DSpace. Therefore, you may wish to consider upgrading directly to DSpace 5.4x, as the 5.x upgrade process is simplified.
