Dear DSpace Community:
 
On behalf of the DSpace developers, I would like to formally announce that 
DSpace 6.2 is now available.  DSpace 6.2 provides bug fixes to the DSpace 
6.x platform.

   - DSpace 6.2 can be downloaded immediately from: 
   https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/releases/tag/dspace-6.2 
   <https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/releases/tag/dspace-6.1>
   - 6.2 Release notes are available at: 
   https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC6x/Release+Notes
   
DSpace 6.2 is a bug fix release to resolve several issues located in 
previous 6.x releases. As it only provides only bug fixes, DSpace 6.2 
should constitute an easy upgrade from DSpace 6.x for most users. No 
database changes or additional configuration changes should be necessary 
when upgrading from DSpace 6.x to 6.2.
 

*Major bug fixes include:*

   - Important bug fixes to DSpace database connection/caching management
   - *Indexing:* Items failed to be reindexed after metadata changes were 
      made: DS-3660 <https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-3660>

      <https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-3648>
      - *Group creation:* Database migrations sometimes failed to create 
      initial groups (Administrator and Anonymous) in fresh_installs: 
      DS-3659 <https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-3659>
      - *Cache management:* DOIOrganiser CLI does not change the database 
      anymore: DS-3656 <https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-3656>
      - *Cache Management*: Database changes of consumers aren't persisted 
      anymore: DS-3680 
      <https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-3680?src=confmacro>
      - *Cache Management: *Slow batch operations due to Hibernate caching: 
      DS-3286 <https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-3286?src=confmacro>
   - General bug fixes (to all UIs):

      <https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-3602>
      - ImageMagick PDF thumbnail should always create sRGB JPEG files:
