Contribute to the DSpace Development Fund

The newly established DSpace Development Fund supports the development of new features prioritized by DSpace Governance. For a list of planned features see the fund wiki page.

Note, configuration and theme changes that exist in the xmlui or jspui module will need to be re-engineered for the DSpace 7 frameworks.

Where feasible, existing DSpace configuration settings should migrate unchanged.  This document enumerates the specific files in dspace/config that will need to be migrated for DSpace 7.

This page is outdated/obsolete.  Full list of configuration changes in DSpace 7 are in the Release Notes at Release Notes#7.0ConfigurationsRemoved

Assumptions

  • Instances that have not yet upgraded to DSpace 6 will need to upgrade configuration files to be compatible with DSpace 6
    • See "Update your DSpace Configurations and/or move them to local.cfg" on the following page: Upgrading DSpace
  • The traditional DSpace workflow will be deprecated and replaced with XML Workflow.
    • The existing processes to upgrade from traditional workflow to XML Workflow will be executed. 
    • See  Unable to locate Jira server for this macro. It may be due to Application Link configuration.
  • Custom embargo functionality (pre DSpace 3.0)
    • A migration path for custom embargo will be needed.
    • See  Unable to locate Jira server for this macro. It may be due to Application Link configuration.
