Known Issues
1.5.0 Has the following issues that will/should be corrected in 1.5.1
- the generated dspace/modules/sword webapp is missing lib files (show stopper)
- Some of the dspace/modules/<projects> need to have dependencies added to their poms to ease customization of java classes (not a show stopper)
- DSpace Statistics system does not work with Manakin UI (should it? Not sure...)
Documentation
- Documentation is being updated to reflect this version. A word/pdf manual is being created and should be available by Mid May. We are searching for ways to post this document in on the wiki, for editing and re-assembly into a printable format. The documentation coordination is being driven by the foundation.
