Once these have been accepted and merged, development will enter the code freeze phase in order to prepare for release of version 8.0
A Release Announcement is planned for early next week (week of June 24, 2024)
Documentation (release notes) for version 8 will be reviewed and finalized

Discussed management and maintenance of 7.x and 8.x

Tim Donohue created new labels to mark bugs that affect only a specific release or specific branch
The maintenance board on GitHub has been renamed to DSpace 8.x and 7.6.x Maintenance

Discussed the release and release schedule for version 7.6.2:

There is no strict release date for 7.6.2; the release is planned for shortly after 8.0 has been released
7.6.2 will be released as soon as everything has been tested and the release notes have been finalized

Version 9.0 (future release) discussion:

Tim Donohue will create a brainstorming page to collect ideas for 9.0 on the wiki; everyone is welcome to contribute thoughts and ideas to this page
The discussion around ideas for 9.0 revolved around:
- Improving performance (high CPU usage, https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues/3110)
- Entities
  - Enabling entities by default in version 9.0
  - How can entities be made more usable?
- DOIs
  - DOIs have a strong link to the issue around entities
  - Relationships and nested hierarchical metadata
