Hi everyone,

Dataverse 6.2 is now available! A big thank you to all the community members who contributed code, suggestions, bug reports, and other assistance across the project.

This release contains a number of updates and new features including:

Search and Facet by License. Licenses have been added to the search facets in the search side panel to filter datasets by license (e.g. CC0). Licenses can also be used to filter the Search API results.
When Returning Datasets to Authors, Reviewers Can Add a Note to the Author.
Support for Using Multiple PID Providers. This release adds support for using multiple PID providers, multiple PID provider accounts, assigning PID provider accounts to specific collections, and supporting transferred PIDs.
Rate Limiting. The option to rate limit has been added to prevent users from over taxing the system either deliberately or by runaway automated processes.
Simplified SMTP Configuration. With this release, we deprecate the usage of asadmin create-javamail-resource to configure Dataverse to send mail using your SMTP server and provide a simplified, standard alternative using JVM options or MicroProfile Config.

And lots more great updates!
