Hi all, sorry, I spoke too soon! The testing has taken a little longer than anticipated to get going, and I'm a bit behind on some admin tasks so this release is being delayed a bit.. I'll try not to promise an exact date this time but I'm guessing at least a week late.
Sorry about that! The good news is this release is packed full of fixes and improvements, so it'll be worth the wait.

Thanks to all those who have chipped in and helped with pull requests, code reviews, testing, and joining the conversation. We've made good progress on testing and merging code contributions, and now that we're a few days away from release, some thorough testing of the dspace-6_x branch would be really helpful. We'll look at switching the DSpace Demo site (demo.dspace.org) over to dspace-6_x soon, as well In particular, testing these general components that have had significant changes / fixes / improvements since 6.2 will help catch anything important that needs changing before release: - Discovery (Solr) searches, including browsing, pagination, filters, special characters and very long requests - General test of OAI-PMH (both ways) - General test of REST API (aka Legacy REST) and REST Reports - Flyway upgrades, fresh installs, database migrations - ORCID authority control - Subscriptions (with the sub-daily script) - Statistics GeoIP (location) lookups and display - CSV metadata exporting - General performance (and particularly: XMLUI + items with many bitstreams) - MathJAX rendering M: [email protected] T: @kimshepherd P: +6421883635 W: www.shepherd.nz <http://shepherd.nz> 0CCB D957 0C35 F5C1 497E CDCF FC4B ABA3 2A1A FAEC -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DSpace Community" group.
