title | DSpace 7.0 Estimated Release Schedule |
---|
|
DSpace 7.0 is under active development. The next major milestone is: - Beta release. The beta release will be feature-complete and provide an opportunity for more extensive testing and finalisation. Estimation of effort for remaining tasks is currently underway.
If you or your institution would like to contribute to and accelerate this release process, we welcome contributors to the DSpace 7 Working Group. We also welcome developers to simply help us review & test new features/improvements (pull requests) as they are developed. Contributing testing and/or code reviews can help us speed up the development feedback loop & get features into the release more quickly. Get in touch with Tim Donohue if you'd like to contribute! |
