[Scott Yeadon]

Dear All,
 
 The DSpace community is pleased to announce the release of DSpace 1.3 
Beta 1
The main feature of this beta release is the introduction of 
internationalisation of DSpace beginning with the ability to configure 
JSPs to any language. This release also addresses the following bugs:
- Set the content type in the HTTP header
- Fix issue where EPerson edit would not work due to form indexing 
(partial fix)

 The documentation for this release is bundled within the package.
 
 DSpace Beta 1 can be downloaded from the files area at
 http://sourceforge.net/projects/dspace/ or from CVS using the tags
 dspace-1_3beta1 and dspace-docs-1_3beta1 for the source code and
 documentation modules respectively.
 
 Please use the mailing lists available at

 release.
