Dear DSpace Community: On behalf of the DSpace developers, I would like to formally announce that DSpace 5.2 is now available. DSpace 5.2 is a bug-fix release and contains no new features. DSpace 5.2 can be downloaded immediately at either of the following locations: * SourceForge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/dspace/files/ * GitHub: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/ (see the "dspace-5.2" tag) In addition, you are welcome to try out DSpace 5.2 on http://demo.dspace.org/ and continue to provide any early feedback you may have. == Fixed in 5.2 == * Solr statistics upgrade fixes: - Resolve issues where statistics index was not being properly upgraded. DS-2486, DS-2487, DS-2489 - Failure when sharding the Solr statistics index. DS-2212 * OAI fixes: - Handle dates correctly in resumption tokens, so that harvesting captures the full specified range. DS-2546, DS-2582 - List all authors in METS formatted metadata. DS-2474 - Change the declared OAI deletion mode to "transient", which corresponds to what DSpace actually does.

Thank you to the many developers who have worked very hard to deliver all the new features and improvements. Also thanks to the users who provided input and feedback on the development, as well those who participated in the testathons. In particular, I'd like to single out Dr. Andrea Schweer for her identification of various Solr statistics issues, and her contributed fixes for those issues. Dr. Schweer also helped identify and test many other fixes for this release, and 5.2 would not be the same without her efforts. Additionally I would like to thank Tim Donohue of DuraSpace for ensuring that every DSpace release goes off without a hitch. Likewise, I would be remiss if I did not mention the tireless efforts of everyone on the DSpace 5 Release Team. I hope they don't mind me mentioning their names one last time: * Peter Dietz (Longsight) * Hardy Pottinger (University of Missouri Library Systems) * Ivan Masár * Mark H. Wood (Indiana University) * Robin Taylor (University of Edinburgh) * Pascal-Nicolas Becker (Technische Universität Berlin) * Andrea Schweer (Library Consortium of New Zealand) A detailed listing of all known people/institutions who contributed directly to DSpace 5.2 is available in the Release Notes. If you contributed and were accidentally not listed, please let us know so that we can correct it! For DSpace 5.2, we had a total of 22 individuals contribute bug fixes. A big thanks goes out to everyone who participated. We hope you'll continue to be a valuable addition to the DSpace community for the next release and beyond! == More Information == More information on this release is also available in the DSpace 5.2 Release Notes at: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC5x/Release+Notes As always, we are happy to hear back from the community about DSpace.
