All,
Per our DSpace Software Support Policy [1], DSpace versions 1.7.x and
below are all considered "end of life".
With the recent release of DSpace 4.0 [2], our DSpace Committer Team
will ONLY be providing security updates, bug fixes and active support
for DSpace 4.x, 3.x and 1.8.x. In other words, we only support the last
three major releases (which results in a three year support period for
any particular DSpace release).
What does this mean?
* The DSpace Committers Team HIGHLY RECOMMENDS that everyone upgrade to
DSpace 4.x, 3.x or 1.8.x as soon as you can.
* DSpace versions 1.7.x and below will NOT receive any further public
security patches or bug fix releases.
* You are still welcome to ask questions on mailing lists regarding
DSpace 1.7.x or below. However, as those versions are considered "out of
support", the extent to which we can resolve your issues may be limited.
We obviously will still do our best to be helpful, as we take great
pride in that.
* Recent versions of DSpace will be supported based on the following EOL
schedule. So, we recommend planning your future upgrades appropriately.
* DSpace 1.8.x - Supported until January 1, 2015
* DSpace 3.x - Supported until January 1, 2016
* DSpace 4.x - Supported until January 1, 2017
Please feel free to let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Tim Donohue, on behalf of the DSpace Committers
