Hello all, Just a reminder that today & tomorrow are our final days of the official 1.8 Testathon. If you haven't had a chance to help us test 1.8.0, we'd encourage you to take a few minutes to browse around and see what you think!
More details on how you can help are posted at: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DSpace+Release+1.8.0+Testathon+Page A full list of features/changes in DSpace 1.8.0 can be found at: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DSpace+Release+1.8.0+Notes Even after Testathon completes, our main Demo Server (http://demo.dspace.org) will still remain available for last-minute testing. So, you are welcome to continue to perform a bit of testing next week. However, we encourage you to report any issues you've located as soon as possible, so that we can get any final bugs resolved before the 1.8.0 final release. Thanks to all of you who have already helped test & reported issues! We really depend on your support to help ensure the release is as bug-free as possible. We're looking forward to an exciting 1.8.0 release in October (see release notes above for our tentative release schedule). - The DSpace Committers On 9/7/2011 4:48 PM, Tim Donohue wrote: > DSpace Community, > > On behalf of the DSpace Committers, we'd like to formally announce the > DSpace 1.8.0 Testathon will begin on Monday, September 12 and last until > Friday, September 23. > > This is your opportunity to get a preview of the upcoming 1.8.0 release, > while also helping us to fully test the system and squash any last bugs! > > During the Testathon (September 12-23), you can help us by testing an > early version of 1.8.0 on our Demo Site (http://demo.dspace.org) or > other available Testathon sites (TBA). > > If you are technically inclined, next week you may also download a copy > of this early release (1.8.0 RC1) and install it on your own local > development server: > https://sourceforge.net/projects/dspace/files/DSpace%20Release%20Candidate/ > > Some key 1.8.0 features to be on the lookout for include: > * Configurable Reviewer Workflow - adds ability to configure your own > local approval workflow processes > * Media RSS Feeds - Allows DSpace media content to now be published to > iTunes U, iTunes podcasts, etc. > * A SWORD Client - allows DSpace to send its content (via SWORD) to > another SWORD enabled repository (including another DSpace) > * Reordering of Bitstreams - Allows you to reorganize the files attached > to an item into a defined order. > * Virus checking during Submission process - when enabled, allows you to > virus check all files *before* they get into DSpace. > * Compatibility with SWORD v2 protocol - allows SWORD 2 clients to > submit packages to DSpace. > * Rewrite of Creative Commons Licensing - improves the process for > adding a CC License to content during the submission process. > * Split up the 'dspace.cfg' file into smaller, more easily managed > configuration files. > * Numerous other features, improvements & bug fixes > > A full list of features/changes in DSpace 1.8.0 can be found at: > https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DSpace+Release+1.8.0+Notes > > For additional information on the Testathon, how you can help, and how > you can provide feedback, please visit: > https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DSpace+Release+1.8.0+Testathon+Page > > > Thanks!
