DSpace 7.x (first released on Aug 2, 2021) has rejuvenated the DSpace platform, introducing a new User Interface (based on Angular.io) backed by a new REST API. This new REST API provides not only the backbone to DSpace, but also opens its data to a world of future integrations. As we approach the second anniversary of 7.0, we are nearing feature compatibility between DSpace 5.x/6.x and the new 7.x platform. With 7.6, due in June 2023, we anticipate that the 7.x platform will be nearly (or fully) "feature complete". This presentation will discuss the 7.6 release, the upcoming roadmap for DSpace 7.x, and early ideas for what may come in 8.x. Now that our 7.x rebuild is nearing completion, we'll reflect on how 7.x was achieved through community-based funding (Membership, Development Fund, SCOSS, partnerships with Service Providers) along with donated code contributions. We'll also look to the future, and discuss how everyone has the opportunity to take part in our DSpace Governance to plan the next features for 8.x and beyond. |
