Hey everyone! I'm using a backend in Dspace 7.1 and a frontend in 7.4. I have an Issue loading some components:

Recent submissions (just have an infinity loading), browse by title and browse by issue date ( just don't appear, and get a red message)

What it can be? Does not have compatibility between versions?

Hi,

In the DSpace 7 set of releases (7.0-7.4 so far), the minor releases all contain new features.  This we necessary in order to migrate 6.x features to 7.x over several releases.  However, it does mean that 7.x releases are *not* compatible with one another.  You must be running a 7.4 backend to run a 7.4 frontend... as 7.4 has several new features not available in 7.1 (which require new functionality on the backend as well).

For more information on why we had to take this direction with 7.x, see https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSPACE/DSpace+Release+7.0+Status
