Abstract
This study discusses the importance of the DSpace open-source software that supports numerous digital libraries and repositories around the world. With the release of DSpace version 7, a natural question that arises is whether the new version offers enough new functionalities to motivate system administrators to upgrade. This paper briefly describes the most important changes, including new features and bug fixes, included in DSpace 7.4 and prior minor versions. The next parts of this paper explore our estimate that there are several thousand DSpace-based systems globally that will likely have to be upgraded in the near future. The main reason for this need is that older versions of DSpace (including 5.x) have reached the end of their developer support period or are reaching it in mid-2023. Based on our own upgrade experience, we propose suggestions and recommendations on migrating from the previous DSpace 6.3-based environment to the new one in a case study that concludes this article.
本研究讨论了支持世界各地众多数字图书馆和存储库的DSpace开源软件的重要性。随着DSpace version 7的发布，一个自然的问题是新版本是否提供了足够的新功能来激励系统管理员进行升级。本文简要描述了DSpace 7.4和之前的小版本中最重要的变化，包括新功能和错误修复。本文的下一部分探讨了我们的估计，即在不久的将来，全球可能有数千个基于dspace的系统需要升级。出现这种需求的主要原因是旧版本的DSpace(包括5.x)已经达到了开发人员支持期的结束，或者将在2023年中期达到。根据我们自己的升级经验，我们在本文的最后一个案例研究中提出了从以前基于DSpace 6.3的环境迁移到新环境的建议和建议。
