Hello DSpace Community,
The DSpace 8.0 Testathon begins today! Thank you to all the DSpace 8.0 developers who’ve gotten us this far, and thank you in advance to all of you who are going to participate in the Testathon!
Testathon Dates: April 8 – April 19, 2024.
We ask that you take a few minutes of your time to help us fully test this new release. We want to ensure we are maintaining the same level of quality that you have come to expect out of a new DSpace release. In addition to testing new features, the Testathon is an opportunity for existing DSpace sites to ensure that the features they care about are working well in 8.0. If any of those features have bugs, then Testathon is the opportunity to get immediate developer attention on those bugs, to ensure the bugs are fixed prior to the 8.0 final release.
For more information on the Testathon, please visit the DSpace Release 8.0 Testathon page.
