We are tracking the current status of all active DSpace 7 development in our DSpace 7 Project Boards.

When will 8.0 planning begin?  Is there a Roadmap for 8.0?

Per a discussion in DSpace Steering in Aug 2022, the 8.0 release will not occur until we've completed the features listed in Tiers 1-4 above. Tier 5 (Low Priority) features may or may not be released in a 7.x release. Some Tier 5 tasks may be reprioritized for 8.x or later based on ongoing feedback. Keep in mind this Tier listing is a living document, so it's also possible some features may be reprioritized into a higher or lower tier based on ongoing feedback.

We cannot yet say how many 7.x releases will occur prior to 8.0, as it depends on how many features we can fit into each 7.x release.  We'll create as many (or as few) 7.x releases as necessary to complete Tiers 1-4.

At this time, there are no formal plans for what features will be in 8.0 or when 8.0 will be released.  But, we expect the 8.0 roadmap to be formalized as we near the completion of Tiers 1-4 above.
