2. (Ongoing Topic) DSpace 6.x Status Updates for this week

   1. DSpace 6.3 Release Planning is ongoing. Thanks to those who have been helping out with tests and reviews over the last week. The ORCID (DS-3447) work has been merged, which is great news and removes the last blocker for release. Target release date is May 28, there are just a few couple of remaining PRs sitting with a 6.3 milestone, and we'd love help testing current 6.x branch, focusing on:

   2. Discovery (Solr) searches, including browsing, pagination, filters, special characters and very long requests
   3. General test of OAI-PMH (both ways)
   4. General test of REST API (aka Legacy REST) and REST Reports
   5. Flyway upgrades, fresh installs, database migrations
   6. ORCID authority control
   7. Subscriptions (with the sub-daily script)
   8. Statistics GeoIP (location) lookups and display
   9. CSV metadata exporting
   10. General performance (and particularly: XMLUI + items with many bitstreams)
   MathJAX rendering

   . The rest of the work is testing and forward porting, and writing announcements, release notes, contributor credits, and the maven / sonatype release itself.

   11. Reminder of 

       Jira
       server DuraSpace JIRA serverId c815ca92-fd23-34c2-8fe3-956808caf8c5 key DS-3498

         Do we want to squeeze in a "quick fix" for 6.3?  Maybe just disable search snippets on "fulltext" by default?
