Goals for 9.0

To be decided by DSpace Steering.  Early brainstorms at DSpace Release 9.0 Status

Goals for 8.1 / 7.6.3

Deadline is TBD for both 8.1 and 7.6.3

  • Bug/security fixes only.  Release will occur when sufficient fixes have been made to warrant a release.
    • New "themeable components" (for dspace-angular) are allowed in bug fix releases, provided that they don't significantly modify component behavior or similar.
  • Bug fixes will need to be ported to "main", "dspace-8_x" and "dspace-7_x" 
    1. Ideally, it's best to start with a PR against "main" as that has the strictest code style rules. 
    2. In many scenarios, a backport to "dspace-8_x" should be possible to automate using the "port to [branch]" labels & the "Port merged Pull Request" GitHub Action
    3. Backporting to "dspace-7_x" may be trickier for some bug fixes (and require a manual port), as there are major code style changes between 7.x and 8.x

Try "Pull Request Trading" for a quicker review

Do you have a PR stuck in "under review" that you really want to see move forward?  Or maybe it's someone else's PR but you want to get it more attention?

See Trading reviews on Pull Requests for how to get immediate attention to that PR!
