Hello DSpace Commmunity, One additional enhancement which we realized we accidentally left off the (long) list of 4.0 features/improvements:
* Several improvements which help Google Scholar (and other search engines) to better index your DSpace content and make it more findable. These improvements were requested by the Google Scholar team. More information on these specific Google Scholar improvements is now available in the 4.0 Release Notes (look for the Google Scholar logo): https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC4x/Release+Notes Congrats to everyone on this major release! It is amazing how many new features, improvements and bug fixes were included. We have our highly active community to thank, as well as our dedicated Committer team! - Tim On 12/17/2013 8:47 AM, Mark H.
