We would like to say a big THANK YOU to Stuart Lewis the Release Manager from the University of Auckland Library. Stuart truly innovated the DSpace software release process for 1.6. From soliciting community input through the survey, to finding teams to work on new major feature development, to writing code himself, Stuart was committed to making sure the release included improvements the community most desired. We'd also like to extend gratitude to the developers who have worked very hard to deliver all the new features and improvements. And thanks to the users and community members who provided input and feedback on the development, as well those who participated in the "Big Bug Hunt" testing. Much gratitude to Jeffery Trimble from Youngstown State University for the major renovations on the 1.6 documentation. More details on the various release contributors can be found in the Preface of the 1.6.0 Documentation (we apologize in advance if we accidentally left anyone out). Give yourselves and your colleagues a pat on the back today! Again, none of this could have happened without your hard work and support. Thanks again! Enjoy DSpace 1.6.0, and let us know what you think! Sincerely, The DSpace Developers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
