Testing

The team is in the process of testing DSpace 8 features not tested during Testathon:

  • A number of bug tickets were created in GitHub and assigned 
  • (High priority) tickets need to be closed out on GitHub before version 8 can be released

Went through and discussed list of bugs on GitHub that are currently unassigned:

  • Identified and discussed high priority bugs
  • Item version input form is not displayed in DSpace 8, redirect doesn't occur properly to submission form – assigned to Guiseppe Digilio

Discussed backend issues currently not resolved:

  • Discussed minor issues (e.g. COAR Notify)
  • Discussed high priority issues
    • Potential security issue around RSS feed exposing items that are fully restricted (#9511) – Tim Donohue will see if he can find time
    • 9499 Previously failed ZIP exports will also fail subsequent ZIP exports – Andrea Bollini (4Science) will work on it, provided that Atmire is not already working on
    • Item Counts (#9437) – When turning on counts, it breaks the community list – Truly high priority? – Tim Donohue will work on it
  • Release date will depend on how quickly the Dev team can get bug fixes done
