Good afternoon!
I am interested in using the subjectplus platform in its version 5, is it possible to download it?

I have seen that no updates have been released, will the project go ahead?

I remain attentive to your comments.
Regards

Hello,

Thanks for your interest in the new version of SubjectsPlus 5. We are currently using it in production this semester and having our subject librarians test it in a real world environment. We plan to roll out another instance for our medical campus next semester. 

Currently, the code is not available for download, it is in a private repository. Before we can release it to the public we have to create an installer. The first iteration will involve an upgrade to an existing installation of version 4.6. The following iteration will be for a green field installation.

In regards to timeline, I cannot give you a concrete answer. There are numerous milestones that must be achieved before we can release it to the public, including security testing. I understand it's frustrating to wait, but our team is working as fast as we can to create a quality product that can be distributed. 

Thanks for your interest and we'll keep you up to date,

Charles
