DSpace 7.5 is now available!

We are pleased to announce the release of DSpace 7.5!  This release provides new features and many improvements and bug fixes for the 7.x series of releases.

The 7.5 release concentrates on porting older 6.x features into 7.x, resolving three Tier 2 priorities, two Tier 3 priorities and two Tier 4 priorities in our  7.x technical roadmap. As of 7.5, all 6.x features listed in Tiers 1-3 have now been ported to 7.x. Donated features and improvements are also included in this release.

Acknowledgments

The DSpace application would not exist without the hard work and support of the community. Thank you to the many developers who have worked very hard to deliver all the new features and improvements. Also thanks to the users who provided input and feedback on the development, as well those who participated in the testathons.

DSpace 7 was no different, but at a much larger scale!  Our full list of all acknowledgments, including institutions who contributed financially and individuals who contributed code, can be found in the Release Notes.
