Dear DSpace Community,
The DSpace Leadership Group, the DSpace Committers and LYRASIS are proud to announce that DSpace 7.0 Beta 3 is now available for download and testing. Beta 3 is the third scheduled Beta release provided for community feedback and to introduce the new features of the 7.0 platform. As a Beta release, we highly advise against running this version in production. Rather, we ask that you consider installing it in a test environment, try it out, and report back any issues or bugs you notice through GitHub (UI issues<https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues>, Backend/API issues<https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/issues>). DSpace 7.0 Beta 3 is deployed for public testing on a dedicated demo site and it can be installed manually or via a Docker “quick install”. Instructions are available at: Try out DSpace 7<https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSPACE/Try+out+DSpace+7>. Included in Beta 3 * Processes Admin UI (video<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcsWkWQONkY>) allows Administrators to run backend scripts/processes while monitoring their progress & completion. * Manage Account Profile allows logged in users to update their name, language or password. * New User Registration (video<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2k8vn1rWNE>) and password reset to the Login screen. * Login As (Impersonate) another account allows Administrators to debug issues that a specific user is seeing, or do some work on behalf of that user. * Manage Authorization Policies of an Item allows Administrators to directly change/update the access policies of an Item, its Bundles or Bitstreams. * Manage Item Templates of a Collection allows Administrators to create/manage template metadata that all new Items will start with when submitted to that Collection. * Administer Active Workflows (video<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjH8VS2WDjE>) allows Administrators to see every submission that is currently in the workflow approval process. * CC License step allows your users to select a Creative Commons License as part of their submission. * Angular CLI compatibility was added to the User Interface. This allows developers to easily update the User Interface using standard Angular commandline tools.
