Hello, Whether you upgrade is really a local decision. It recent years, DSpace Developers have put significant effort into ensuring your *data* (files/database) upgrades automatically.
So, moving your data to the latest version of DSpace is vastly simplified (and usually completely automated, assuming you haven't modified the underlying database structure). See https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC6x/Upgrading+DSpace As for what DSpace 6 provides over DSpace 5, you should check out the 6.0 Release Notes: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC6x/Release+Notes#ReleaseNotes-6.0ReleaseNotes Besides just moving to Hibernate, there's a brand new Configuration System (which makes local configuration easier to manage, via a local.cfg file), and some new features to the REST API, XMLUI, etc. That all said, you are also welcome to wait and upgrade from 5.x to 7.x directly. Just keep in mind, you would still need to adopt the new Configuration System (introduced in 6.x)...it's just a matter of whether you adopt that now or later. - Tim On Tue, Aug 21, 2018 at 9:01 AM Brendow Adriel <brendow...@gmail.com> wrote: > Currently we use version 5.x of dspace and how much should I upgrade to > version 6.x?
