[Dspace-devel] DSpace 5: Dates and Features

[Peter Dietz]

Greetings from the DSpace 5.0 Release Team!

We have another exciting release of DSpace in the works that has been
growing steadily over the past few months. Many contributors have been busy
adding new features and improvements to DSpace. This speaks volumes to the
maturity, stability, and future of DSpace, that as the software project
approaches its 12th year, we're still going strong. Read on for ways to
help contribute, and find out the new features in DSpace 5.

The full release schedule is here:

https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DSpace+Release+5.0+Status

October 6: Deadline for Feature Pull Requests

In plain English, October 6 is the last day you may submit new features for
acceptance into DSpace 5.0. If you are working on a new feature for DSpace,
we urge you to prepare a Pull Request now. Getting your work visible early
as a Pull Request allows others to review, and help steer your contribution
to inclusion in the next release.

Here’s how:

https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Code+Contribution+Guidelines
Other Important Dates:

October 31  5.beta-1 - Release Candidate 1

November 03-14 Testathon (mark your calendar)

November 20  5.beta-2 - Release Candidate 2

December (mid) DSpace 5.0 Release

Of course, this also means we have a large pile of pull requests which need
review, and other features that have been contributed but should still
receive plenty of testing. We’d like to take a moment to call a few of
those out, as they represent features we know are important to the
community. If any of these features “speak to you” please consider pitching
in with the review and testing work.

The complete list of pull requests is here:

Re: [Dspace-devel] DSpace 5: Dates and Features

[Hayden Young]

What is the current situation on the Jersey REST API bundled with DSpace 
5 in regards to the additional endpoints documented at 
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/REST+API.


We are attempting to support the Jersey REST API for existing production 
DSpace instances by using the documented endpoints, in particular 
bitstream retrieval and writing back to the DSpace archive.


Additionally, what is the current status on alternative user 
authentication mechanisms in Jersey REST? The documentation discusses 
username/password being passed as part of the url although I believe 
there was discussion around other authentication functions being 
implemented.


Cheers
