It depends on the features you are looking for and on the expected production timeline. Invenio 1.2 is our recommended stable release series, running the legacy code base that is used by many digital library installations in the world. If you are looking at having an out-of-the-box system with components such as the MARC21 authority control or an OAI-PMH automated harvester, then this would be the version to look at. Invenio 3.0 is our latest development preview release series, running on Zenodo, HepData, and a few other pilot services. It is still in the pre-production stage, with many components having an "alpha" status with possible API changes to come before Invenio 3.0 final is released. Many Invenio legacy features, such as the above mentioned MARC21 authority control or an automated OAI-PMH harvester, aren't fully ported yet. However, if you are looking at having a solid modern technology code base covering all the basic functionalities, upon which you'd like to build your own Pythonic digital library solution, and if you are not in a production hurry, then this would be the version to look at. Please see the short description of our various Invenio release series versions: http://invenio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/introduction/releases.html http://invenio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/architecture/system-overview.html as well as our Invenio 3.0 roadmap: https://github.com/inveniosoftware/invenio/wiki/Invenio-3.0-Roadmap Best regards -- Tibor Simko
