All, Per our DSpace Software Support Policy [1], DSpace versions 1.7.x and below are all considered "end of life".
With the recent release of DSpace 4.0 [2], our DSpace Committer Team will ONLY be providing security updates, bug fixes and active support for DSpace 4.x, 3.x and 1.8.x. In other words, we only support the last three major releases (which results in a three year support period for any particular DSpace release). What does this mean? * The DSpace Committers Team HIGHLY RECOMMENDS that everyone upgrade to DSpace 4.x, 3.x or 1.8.x as soon as you can. * DSpace versions 1.7.x and below will NOT receive any further public security patches or bug fix releases. * You are still welcome to ask questions on mailing lists regarding DSpace 1.7.x or below. However, as those versions are considered "out of support", the extent to which we can resolve your issues may be limited. We obviously will still do our best to be helpful, as we take great pride in that. * Recent versions of DSpace will be supported based on the following EOL schedule. So, we recommend planning your future upgrades appropriately. * DSpace 1.8.x - Supported until January 1, 2015 * DSpace 3.x - Supported until January 1, 2016 * DSpace 4.x - Supported until January 1, 2017 Please feel free to let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
