4Science is glad to announce the availability of the 5.8 version of DSpace-CRIS 
built on top of the recent bug fix release DSpace JSPUI 5.8:

https://github.com/4Science/DSpace/tree/dspace-cris-5.8.0

This version includes bug fixes from DSpace 5.8 and provides support for the 
ORCID v2 API, making DSpace-CRIS the first known open source implementation of 
DSpace supporting the new ORCID API.

The official demo of DSpace-CRIS 5.8 can be found here: 
https://dspace-cris.4science.it/

We are committed to keep DSpace-CRIS functionalities aligned in version 5.x and 
6.x so that institutions using DSpace-CRIS are not forced to move to the latest 
version to enjoy all the new functionalities. The ORCID API v2 support will be 
introduced also in DSpace-CRIS 6.x in the next couple of weeks.

Please note that DSpace-CRIS 6 is still a release candidate as we are waiting 
for additional tests before cutting an official release. You can find a public 
test-drive site for DSpace-CRIS 6.2 RC here: 
http://test.dspace-cris.4science.it/

As for DSpace 6, the most important things we worked on are “behind the scene” 
and they are technical changes in preparation of DSpace(-CRIS) 7.

Our goal was to make this release as stable as possible but it is indisputable 
that the underlying persistent layer of DSpace 6 is too young and not 
intensively tested on and optimized for large sites yet. We suggest developers 
to use version 6 either if they need to make extensive customizations on the 
business layer or if they want to contribute to DSpace(-CRIS) 7. For standard 
use of DSpace-CRIS, the version 5.x is a more solid choice at present.

A special thanks to Andrea Pascarelli, DSpace Committer and lead Engineer at 
4Science, who put a lot of effort on this new release making it possible.
