Subject: [Dspace-tech] DSpace 4.0 Testathon begins Nov 4 -- Users / Feedback wanted
Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2013 17:03:46 -0400
From: Mark H. Wood <mw...@iupui.edu>
To: dspace-t...@lists.sourceforge.net


The first Release Candidate for DSpace 4.0 will soon be available for
testing.  Some new features that might interest you include:

  - A new look and feel for JSPUI, with several other improvements
  - A number of features of XMLUI have been ported to JSPUI
  - A REST API exposing repository objects
  - Support for automatically creating DOIs during ingestion.

There's much more.  Please see the Release Notes at:

  https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DSpace+Release+4.0+Notes

ATTENTION ORACLE SITES:

Hi, sorry to shout at you, but now that we have your attention, please
do plan on testing the release candidates of DSpace 4.0 on your own
infrastructure. We'd like to minimize the surprises on the day that
4.0 is officially released, and the best way to do that is with your
help. If at all possible, please consider testing DSpace 4.0, to
ensure it is compatible with Oracle. Ideally, this would mean testing
a new install, and an upgrade. Thanks!

INVITATION TO TRANSLATORS:

If you are willing to translate DSpace message catalogs into another
language:  the 4.0 catalogs should be nearly stable now.

TESTATHON and NEXT STEPS:

We plan to tag RC1 on 31-Oct-2013.  There will be another
announcement when it is ready for download.  If you would like to try
out the next release of DSpace in your own test environment, please
do, and tell us what you find.

The following Monday, 04-Nov-2013, begins the 4.0 Testathon, which
continues through the 15th.  RC1 will be available on
http://demo.dspace.org.  You can try it out without installing your
own instance, and your feedback would be appreciated.  Look for the
red Feedback button to report issues with the demo. site.

The actual use of a software product is always more varied and
surprising than the developers and maintainers imagined.  Please help
us ensure that DSpace 4.0 will do what you expect.
