All DSpace 1.8.x users should upgrade to 1.8.2

Generally we recommend all DSpace 1.8.x users upgrade to DSpace 1.8.2 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.

Summary

DSpace 1.8.2 is a bug fix release to resolve any issues located within DSpace 1.8.0 or DSpace 1.8.1. As it only provides bug-fixes, DSpace 1.8.2 should constitute an easy upgrade from DSpace 1.8.x for most users. No database changes or additional configuration changes should be necessary when upgrading from DSpace 1.8.x to 1.8.2.

This small bug fix release addresses a number of issues that have cropped up since 1.8.0 and 1.8.1. These issues include:

  • Several bug fixes to the AIP Backup & Restore tools
  • Increase default XMLUI upload limit to 2GB max
  • Fix issue with concurrent workflow task claiming in XMLUI
  • Additional bug fixes to Discovery & XMLUI

For upgrade instructions for 1.8.x to 1.8.2, please see Upgrading From 1.8 to 1.8.x.
