Hi, on behalf of the DSpace 5.0 Release Team, I'd like to officially announce the extension of the "feature freeze" deadline for DSpace 5.0. It was originally set for Monday October 20, 2014. In order to accommodate the discussion of DSPR#668/DS-2169 [1] (author profiles for XMLUI), we've extended the deadline to Monday October 27, 2014. The "feature freeze" is the last possible day for new features to be merged into the master branch of DSpace, which in December will be released as DSpace 5.0.
We've been working hard evaluating and merging pull requests to the master branch, and I think DSpace 5.0 is shaping up to be a very exciting release. We have much more to do, and would love your help in evaluating pull requests. I will send another note calling your attention to the pull requests we'd really like your help in testing. It's tempting to keep the mail lists "less noisy" but I want to keep this note clearly about the small schedule change. Note, at this time, no other changes to the schedule have been planned. You can find the current schedule on the DSpace 5.0 status page. [2] If you permit me, I'd also like to take the chance to commend everyone on the DSpace 5.0 release team for the really solid work going in on this release. I'm proud of us all. It's going to be a really great release. --Hardy Pottinger [1] https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/668 [2] https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DSpace+Release+5.0+Status#DSpaceRelease5.0Status-TimelineandProcessing ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Dspace-devel mailing list Dspace-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-devel
