In 2011, after much discussion, the DSpace Committers in conjunction with members of the DSpace Community Advistory Team (DCAT) decided to forgo releasing a "DSpace 2.0".

| title | DSpace has changed its release numbering scheme |
|---|
|
With DSpace 3.0, the DSpace Developers will be changing our release numbering scheme. Release numbers will now only consist of two numbers: [major].[minor] (e.g. 3.0, 3.1, 4.0): - Major Releases: incrementing the first number ('major') will represent a new MAJOR release of DSpace. A major release may include any or all of the following:
- new features
- system improvements
- architectural changes
- bug fixes
- (All major releases end in ".0", so "3.0", "4.0", and "5.0" would all represent major releases.)
- Minor (Bug-Fix) Releases: incrementing the second number ('minor') will represent a new MINOR release of DSpace. A minor release will only include:
- bug fixes to an existing major release (For example, "3.1" and "3.2" would represent two minor releases which only include bug fixes to the "3.0" major release.)
There will be a migration path for users upgrading from v1.8.2 to the 3.0 release. For more information see DSpace Release Numbering Scheme and the initial DSpace 3.0 Announcement |
