DSpace 4.x Release Notes have been incorporated into the DSpace 4.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 4.0, and for communicating this status information to the community. The DSpace 4.x Release Notes page is a historical document, with much of the same material. is still in the planning stages and will be released sometime in late (likely Nov/Dec) 2013 |

DSpace 4.0

Note |
---|
The list of features below is entirely speculative. Features are not deemed finalized until the code is in-hand and accepted. If you are a developer and you'd like to contribute to DSpace 4.0, you can do so by doing the following: - Submit a JIRA ticket describing your contribution, and mark it as being for "4.0" (this will cause it to auto-appear in the listing below)
- As early as possible, share your code via a GitHub Pull Request (or link to it if it's available publicly elsewhere). Add a link to it in your JIRA ticket. See Development with Git for more info.
- If it's a larger contribution, please provide some documentation (you are welcome to create a new page in this DSpace Wiki), so that we can understand how to use it and configure it.
The earlier you make your contribution known, the more likely it is that it will be accepted into 4.0. The later you share your code / ideas, the more likely it is that we'll need to reschedule it for a later release. Usually we need to have the contribution in-hand (or at least be well aware of what it involves) before Summer to ensure it won't conflict with other contributions and can get a thorough review. |
Please feel free to list features / contributions you plan to develop for 4.0. You can also add a JIRA ticket and mark it for "4.0" which will put it on the automated list below (see "Possible JIRA tickets to resolve")
Conceptual Ideas / Proposals
...
- An updated version of the pull request based on current "master"
- We like the suggestion to rename "schemas" to "namespaces"
- We'd like it to use "metadatavalue" (and similar) tables rather than creating a new set of Metadata tables specific to other objects. We understand this may be more disruptive, but it seems odd to have different metadata namespaces
- If possible we'd want this change to be "backwards compatible" with existing UIs. The goal would be to perform this change in stages – first update the APIs to allow for metadata on all objects, then update each UI one-by-one. Hopefully we can get all of the UIs done before 4.0
- We also obviously could use some basic documentation / overview of the thinking behind it, so that we can vote this through sooner rather than later.
...
- Bram Luyten (Atmire): I think this work looks very promising and would be great to get finalized for 4.0. On the maillinglist, I also saw Pascal Nicholas's wish to get this into 4.0
