[Andrea Bollini]

Dear DSpace Community,

We are pleased to announce the release of DSpace 1.5.2 RC2.

Please refer to the

http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS/fixforversion/10012

and SVN history for details about the modifications.

The final release of 1.5.2 should be out on or after 14th April.
   
We request that community members interested in testing this
release candidate please download it and verify that they can complete upgrade  
and fresh installation. We request that the svn branch be frozen  
until we do complete the final release, if developers do have further  
fixes, please request their addition through the developers list  
before moving forward with SVN commits. The documentation for this release is bundled within the package.

DSpace 1.5.2 RC2 can be downloaded from the files area at
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=19984

or with SVN from

Please use the mailing lists to provide feedback on this release.

Those wishing to do development work with DSpace are strongly  
encouraged to obtain the source code using SVN. This is very  
straightforward and a guide to doing this is available here:

We would also like to take this opportunity to invite you all to take  
part in the DSpace development process. Extra developer hands are  
always welcome, but there are other ways you can help:

- Test the system and report bugs
- Provide documentation (for end users and institutions, as well as technical)
- Provide or update language packs
- Share your deployment experiences
- Donate content and metadata for testing and research
- Share your technical experience and ideas

Please visit the DSpace Wiki to see the various resources and  
collaboration tools available to the DSpace community:

Sincerely,
Andrea Bollini
