DSpace 7.6 provides new features & bug fixes to the 7.x platform.
New features include:
- Bulk Access Management allows someone with administrative privileges (site wide or over a single object) to perform bulk modifications to the permissions of objects they administer. This allows for the ability to add/remove embargoes or other access restrictions to many objects at once. (Developed and co-funded by 4Science with the Support of University of Cambridge)
- Support for selecting Primary Bitstream for archived Items, similar to version 6.x.The existing "primary bitstream" selector now functions properly when editing a Bitstream.
- Item counts can now be displayed for all Communities/Collections similar to version 6.x. (Donated by damian-joz)
- Browse Hierarchical Controlled Vocabularies (Donated by Atmire). This new feature allows users to browse/search for items quickly using the same controlled vocabularies you've configured in your submission forms.
- Signposting support for items and bitstreams. (Developed and donated by 4Science) This new feature embeds signposting links/metadata into pages and responses, to better support FAIR guiding principles.
- Import Simple Archive Format Zip files from a remote URL (Developed and donated by 4Science). This feature enhances the existing batch import feature to allow you to specify the URL of the ZIP file to import, instead of using the drag & drop upload.
- ImageMagick Thumbnails for Video files (MP4). (Donated by Abel Gómez)A new "ImageMagick Video Thumbnail" plugin can be used to generate thumbnails from Video files using FFmpeg.
- Ability to map Item submission forms via Entity Type in item-submission.xml (Donated by Paulo Graça). This enhancement allows you to easily configure a submission form for all Collections of the same Entity Type. See the Configurable Entities documentation.
- New default Privacy Statement and End User Agreement (Donated by DSpaceDirect). The new default text of these policies can be found by visiting the links in the footer of our demo site.
- Oracle support has been removed as was previously announced in March 2022 on our mailing lists.
