Our IT department just asked me which version of DSpace, 6 or 7, I think we should update to.What is the general thought? Is 7 stable and bug-free enough? IT probably won't revisit this for quite some time. So, any patches and fixes may wait for quite some time.


Thanks

Hi,
 
Unfortunately, I don't think this is a question we can help answer. The IP of your DSpace site depends on the IP of your server. DSpace doesn't control the IP at all, rather the IP address is ...more

Hi Tim,
 
I might have not asked question in a clear way, there is IP address on the
server that is running DSpace, I want to know when running
$*yarn start *

Hi,
 
What port you want to open depends on how you want to run the User Interface. If you are running a non-Production instance, using "yarn start" is OK, and then yes​ it's going to use port ...more

Dear colleagues,
 
In DSpace 7, we made a step in item-submission.xml mandatory = "false".

Hi Gavin,
 
I'm a bit lost in the info you've provided as it's not clear to me whether you are able to access the REST API from your browser, or not. Are the errors you are seeing related to ...more

Hi Gavin,
 
Huh, this is an odd one. Nothing is jumping out in your description here as being obviously "off/wrong".

Hi Omar & Ben,
 
The DSpace 7 REST API can support​ Solr/Lucene style queries, provided that it's URL encoded. So, this sort of search by lastModified date is already supported for Items​ as the ...more

Hi David,

When deciding between v6 and v7, the first thing you likely need to be aware of is that 7.0 does NOT (yet) have all the same features as 6.x.  

That means there are many 6.x features that are still being ported to 7.x (little by little over several 7.x releases).  Here's the list of prioritized features still coming to 7.x:

So, if any of the features listed in the prioritized list are "show stoppers" for your institution, then you may want to either wait for those features to appear in 7.x, or upgrade now to 6.x & jump to 7.x a little later.

That said, there are 7.0 sites already out there (and a 7.1 release with bug fixes and a few more features is likely in a month or so).  It's just a matter of whether 7.x currently meets your local requirements or not.

Tim
