For all UIs

• Batch import from Zip files uploaded via the admin interface of either UI
• Easier Database upgrades, thanks to the inclusion of Flyway, an open-source database migration tool
• A feature-complete REST API, supporting both read and write operations
• Linked (Open) Data support
• Metadata for all DSpace Objects
• Improved thumbnail generation (via ImageMagick/Ghostscript)
• Google Analytics integration now tracks "downloads" of bitstreams
• A place to add third-party plugins

For JSPUI only

• HTML5-based drag and drop upload interface for uploading bitstreams during submission
• Per-item configurable visual indicators for browse and search results

For XMLUI only

• Mirage2 theme, utilizing many modern web design tools and technologies, facilitating a "responsive" web design, adapting to any screen size
• ORCID integration via an authority plugin, and a new authority cache
• Serpa/Romeo lookup
• Rendering MathML code in abstracts
• Error pages (including page not found) are all styled with your own site styles
• Collection drop down box performance improvements for repositories with a large number of collections
• (Optional) ability to generate citation cover pages on PDFs
• An aspect for adding Google Analytics web usage information to item pages

Release TODO list

• Solr index format upgrade from 1.6,1.7,1.8 to 5 currently requires manual, undocumented steps (see below). 2 options:
  
  1. We automate it
  2. We document it

• Jira

  Seems like we have 2 options:
  
  1. put Tomcat-specific code to JSPUI's web.xml
  2. just document this Tomcat 7-specific warning
     On DevMtg 2014-11-05 we decided to document for RC1 and decide before RC2
