DSpace 1.3 has been released. Dorothea has installed it on our test/staging server and modifications are being made there. We’ll probably not rush to move it to our production server as we have no pressing immediate need for the new functionality and a local reworking of the system’s look and feel is underway on the 1.3 code. Stay tuned.
