Dear DSpace Community,


The DSpace Steering Group announces that security support for DSpace 5.x and 6.x will end on the following dates:


  • DSpace 5.x: Support ends on January 1, 2023

  • DSpace 6.x: Support ends on July 1, 2023


This means that after those dates:


  • That version of DSpace will be considered “end-of-life” (EOL)

  • Future minor releases of that major version will not occur

  • Bugs affecting those releases will not be addressed

  • Security vulnerabilities affecting those releases will not be addressed


We recommend all institutions upgrade to DSpace 7 as soon as possible.


As we realize that both DSpace 5.x and 6.x are still in wide usage throughout the community, we’ve attempted to answer all questions you may have on our wiki at https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSPACE/Support+for+DSpace+5+and+6+is+ending+in+2023


If your question is not yet answered on that page, please add it in the wiki page comments and we will ensure it is answered.


Sincerely,


The DSpace Steering Group
