Full changelog
⚠️ DSpace 7.6.7 is the final release of the 7.x.x platform. With the release of DSpace 10.0, per the DSpace software support policy, the supported versions now shift to 8.x, 9.x and 10.x. DSpace 7.x.x is considered end-of-life (EOL) and version 7.6.7 will be the final release of the 7.x.x series.
DSpace 7.6.7 Release of the Backend / REST API only. The 7.6.7 release provides bug fixes to the 7.6.x platform. See Release Notes for all details.
This DSpace Backend does not have a user friendly interface. Therefore, we highly recommend installing the DSpace 7 Frontend dspace-7.6.7 release to use with this Backend. Please note that the Frontend and Backend do not need to be installed on the same machine. (Note: it is also possible to run this Backend "headless" if you only want to use the DSpace REST API)
Download links for the Backend are available below (see Assets). You may alternatively choose to checkout the code via GitHub, using the dspace-7.6.7 tag.
