Version 5.10

DSpace 5.10 release is in planning

DSpace 5.10 has not yet been released.

We recommend sites dependent on Java 7, REST API and/or RDF skip DSpace 5.9 and update to DSpace 5.10

Unfortunately, bug fixes in the DSpace 5.9 release resulted in issues running DSpace 5.9 on Java 7, and with running the REST API and RDF interfaces. These issues are being resolved in an upcoming 5.10 release (see below for more details). Sites which are dependent on one of these features should consider upgrading directly from DSpace 5.8 to 5.10.


Summary

DSpace 5.10 is a bug fix release to resolve JAR dependency issues found in DSpace 5.9 (especially for users running Java 7).

Contact Terrence W Brady  if you have questions about the release.
 

Webapp Status

The changes in the DSpace 5.9 release broke the DSpace REST webapp.  The same change may have also broken the DSpace RDF web app. 

The following grid will be used to verify the status of each DSpace webapp.

The DSpace installation instructions indicate support in Java 7, so that condition is being tested explicitly.

Upgrade Instructions

  • For upgrade instructions from ANY PRIOR VERSION to 5.10, please see Upgrading DSpace
  • When upgrading from any 5.x version, if you're reusing your 5.x configuration, make sure to change all instances of Filter attribute "red" to "ref" (e.g. <Filter red="exampleFilter" /> to <Filter ref="exampleFilter" />) in [dspace]/config/crosswalks/oai/xoai.xml. "red" was a temporary workaround for a bug (xoai issue #32), which was first fixed in DSpace 5.4.
