Dear Anne, DSpace 6.4 will be released "soon". ;) We (a group of volunteers) have been doing preparations in the last few weeks, for example collating the list of changes and contributors for the release notes, updating the DSpace wiki, etc. DSpace 6.4 will be a massive bug fix release, an accumulation of years of pull requests from members of the community, but it will likely be the last DSpace 6.x release so we want to make sure it doesn't have any show-stopping bugs that cause us more work immediately after. Now it's essentially upon a few of us to see if it's in our schedules to actually do the release (tag the commit in git, push to Maven central, etc).
If you are technical and adventurous I would highly recommend jumping on DSpace 6.4-SNAPSHOT now using a source build. It's totally stable and has a metric tonne of bug, security, and performance fixes, and then it will become DSpace 6.4 in the near future.
