Here are the release notes for the most recent version of Islandora, as well as links to the appropriate Github repositories. Islandora is released twice a year. Rather than waiting for the release, some institutions prefer to run closer to the most recent code, where bugs might be fixed or new features added. If you encounter a bug in the release (there are always known issues), it's a good idea to review the Github repository for that module to see if a fix has been submitted. Islandora runs a continuous integration testing framework, which means that new code for Islandora is always tested before being merged.

Release Notes

Some quick notes on community and contribution:

• Modules now contain a .github folder; we will be using this going forward to store a template for making pull requests that should be filled out when contributing.
• We're now maintaining an Awesome list at https://github.com/Islandora-Labs/islandora_awesome where users can take a look at some modules that aren't currently in the core rotation but could get added someday with enough love.
• For this and future releases, we've begun auditing ontologies in core. Head over to https://github.com/Islandora/islandora_ontology to check it out.
