Hi All,
I've changed up the 1.7 Release Notes page somewhat --
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DSpace+Release+1.7.0+Notes
Instead of a giant list of our hopefuls for getting into 1.7, I've split
things that have been done/commit-to-trunk into:
New Features, Improvements, Changes, Bug Fixes, Deprecations, and Unsure /
Postponed.
If your stuff is currently in the Unsure / Postponed section, please do an
action to address that. Most notably, those from *MIT *need to do something
about their projects.
====
Docs,
====
Be sure to put an effort into getting your changes documented, and proof
over the docs/wiki so that your formatting isn't completely munged, and that
whatever is written makes the most sense, as much might be copy-pasted from
previous versions.
