What is the current situation on the Jersey REST API bundled with DSpace
5 in regards to the additional endpoints documented at
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/REST+API.
We are attempting to support the Jersey REST API for existing production
DSpace instances by using the documented endpoints, in particular
bitstream retrieval and writing back to the DSpace archive.
Additionally, what is the current status on alternative user
authentication mechanisms in Jersey REST? The documentation discusses
username/password being passed as part of the url although I believe
there was discussion around other authentication functions being
implemented.
Cheers

Greetings from the DSpace 5.0 Release Team!
We have another exciting release of DSpace in the works that has been
growing steadily over the past few months. Many contributors have been
busy adding new features and improvements to DSpace. This speaks
volumes to the maturity, stability, and future of DSpace, that as the
software project approaches its 12th year, we're still going strong.
Read on for ways to help contribute, and find out the new features in
DSpace 5.
The full release schedule is here:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DSpace+Release+5.0+Status
October 6: Deadline for Feature Pull Requests
In plain English, October 6 is the last day you may submit new
features for acceptance into DSpace 5.0. If you are working on a new
feature for DSpace, we urge you to prepare a Pull Request now. Getting
your work visible early as a Pull Request allows others to review, and
help steer your contribution to inclusion in the next release.
Here’s how:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Code+Contribution+Guidelines
Other Important Dates:
October 31 5.beta-1 - Release Candidate 1
November 03-14 Testathon (mark your calendar)
November 20 5.beta-2 - Release Candidate 2
December (mid)DSpace 5.0 Release
Of course, this also means we have a large pile of pull requests which
need review, and other features that have been contributed but should
still receive plenty of testing. We’d like to take a moment to call a
few of those out, as they represent features we know are important to
the community. If any of these features “speak to you” please consider
pitching in with the review and testing work.
The complete list of pull requests is here:
