Version 3.2

DSpace 3.2 can be downloaded immediately at either of the following locations:

SourceForge (Zip): https://sourceforge.net/projects/dspace/files/
GitHub: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace (tag 'dspace-3.2')

In addition, you are welcome to try out DSpace on http://demo.dspace.org/ and continue to provide any feedback you may have.

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.
