DSpace 5.3 is a bug fix release to resolve several issues located in DSpace 5.0, 5.1 and 5.2. As it only provides only bug fixes, DSpace 5.3 should constitute an easy upgrade from DSpace 5.x for most users. No database changes or additional configuration changes should be necessary when upgrading from DSpace 5.x to 5.3.
This release addresses the following issues discovered in DSpace 5.x and below:
Major bug fixes include:
- Search and browse fixes:
- OAI fixes:
- Performing a full OAI import now also cleans the OAI cache (DS-2543)
- Harvested items are now properly imported in OAI (DS-2554)
- Tombstones (deleted item status) are now properly applied for withdrawn items (DS-2593)
(note: this requires 'import' to be run, the OAI event consumer will not create tombstones automatically) - dc.date.available is now properly exposed when using the mets metadata format (DS-2598)
- Authorization policy fixes:
- Custom policies for items in workspace or workflow (eg. embargo lifts) are now ignored by AuthorizeManager (DS-2614)
- NULL Resource Policy types (commonly found when upgrading from DSpace < 3.0) are now handled correctly by AuthorizeManager (DS-2587)
- Item-level versioning now carries across all custom policies in new item versions (eg. embargos) (DS-2358)
- Other notable fixes:
- Optimized "Select Collection" query is now disabled by default as a workaround to ensure special group lookups (LDAP, Shibboleth) work out-of-the-box (DS-2673)
- Resolved issue where citation_pdf_url metadata was NULL for items with multiple bitstreams but no primary bitstream (DS-2603)
- dc.rights metadata is now properly exposed in embedded XHTML head DC (DS-2568)
