We recommend DSpace 3.x users upgrade to 3.2
Generally we recommend all DSpace 3.x users upgrade to DSpace 3.2 to receive several bug fixes. However, if you decide that none of the bug fixes are relevant for you then there is no urgent case for upgrading.
However, it is worth noting that DSpace 3.2 includes a security fix for the JSPUI. Therefore, we highly recommend anyone using the JSPUI upgrade to DSpace 3.2.
Summary
DSpace 3.2 is a bug fix / security fix release to resolve any issues located within DSpace 3.0 or DSpace 3.1. As it only provides bug-fixes, DSpace 3.2 should constitute an easy upgrade from DSpace 3.x for most users. No database changes or additional configuration changes should be necessary when upgrading from DSpace 3.x to 3.2.
This small bug fix release addresses a number of issues that have cropped up in 3.x. These issues include:
- Several bug fixes to the OAI-PMH interface
- Resolved memory leak in JSPUI
- Resolved security issue in JSPUI (DS-1603 - requires a JIRA account to access)

- Other minor fixes (see below)
