All, Just a reminder, the DSpace 1.6.0 "code freeze" is tomorrow (Tues, March 2) at 15:00 UTC. The official release of 1.6.0 will be available for public download on the morning of Weds, March 3.
Please contact Stuart Lewis ([email protected]) or myself ([email protected]) if you have any outstanding, pre-approved code fixes that will not be able to meet that deadline. Thanks for all of your help with DSpace 1.6.0! We're all excited to see it reach completion! - Tim On 2/18/2010 11:42 AM, Tim Donohue wrote: > All, > > So far the 1.6.0 RC2 Testathon seems to be going quite well.
