[Dspace-general] DSpace 1.3 Alpha released

[Richard Jones]

Dear All,

The DSpace Community is proud to announce the release of DSpace 1.3
alpha.  This version contains  significant updates such as a log file
analyser and a translatable user interface (not quite complete); full
details of the changes can be found listed in the documentation.

*** 
NOTE: this is an alpha release due to the quantity of brand new features
which may need some time to  stabilise.  With your help in testing we
can fix any problems quickly to bring this up to a beta release and
subsequently final release standard 

This release requires some database schema updates, so be sure to save
any database contents you want to  preserve, using the PostgreSQL dump
facility.  In addition, although there have been major updates to the
JSPs, locally modified ones should still be compatible.
***

This alpha release can be downloaded from the files area at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dspace/ or from  CVS using the tags
dspace-1_3alpha and dspace-docs-1_3alpha 2 for the source code (dspace)
and documentation  (docs) modules respectively.  
 
Please use the mailing lists available at
https://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=19984 to provide feedback  on
this to help us make it into a stable release.

Best Wishes,

Richard
