[Dspace-general] [Dspace-tech] DSpace 1.5 release roadmap

[Scott Phillips]

DSpace Community,

The first, and hopefully only, release candidate for Dspace 1.5 is now  
available on SourceForge.net. We hope that this version is fully ready  
for release. If you experienced any bugs or problems during beta2 we  
would appreciate you verifying that they have been corrected.
