Re: [dspace-tech] DSpace 6.0 release date

[Tim Donohue]

Hi Ricardo,

Unfortunately, the answer is that it likely depends on how much you are 
modifying/changing the JSPUI design, etc.


In the upcoming DSpace 6 release, the large refactoring was in the Java 
API layer (dspace-api module).  However, because both the XMLUI and 
JSPUI make calls to the API layer, some of those classes or JSPs had to 
be updated with the newly refactored Java API calls.


So, while the JSPUI itself has *not* undergone a large refactoring in 
DSpace 6, some of the JSPs/Servlets/Tags had minor updates to ensure it 
was compatible with the newly refactored Java API.  If you are heavily 
modifying those JSPs or Servlets/Tags, then when you upgrade to DSpace 
6, you may need to manually correct some old Java API calls to the new 
ones (or re-do your modifications, whichever is easier).  However, this 
does not affect every JSP/Servlet/Tag, and often it's really just a few 
lines of code that need updating to use the new API.


To better understand the Java API refactor, please see:

Hope that helps,

Tim

If you don't mind to follow with this.

I've already installed version 5.5 and there will possibly be several 
demands of changing JSPUI design. Helix sais that version 6 had a 
large refactoring. Question is: if we decide to go to version 6 after 
the release of a stable version, will we have to remake most of the 
design changes?


Thanks,

Ricardo

[dspace-tech] DSpace 6.0 release date

[Evelthon Prodromou]

Hello,

I am in the process of upgrading our DSpace installation. I 've noticed 
that 6.0 is tentatively scheduled to be released in August 2016. Any 
specific date or should I go the 5.5 route ?

Thank you.
