[Duraspace] Upgrade of DSpace from 4.2 to 5.2 on our development server

[Hilton Gibson]

Hi All,

Just a few notes about our upgrade from 4.2 to 5.2 on our development
server.

1. Upgrade server. DSpace 5.2 requires Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. See:
http://wiki.lib.sun.ac.za/index.php/SUNScholar/Upgrading/Server_Software
2. New automatic database upgrade. During the upgrade the database schema
is automatically upgraded. You may have to manually run a sequence update.

3. New Mirage 2 theme. See:

4. New ORCID integration. See:

5. New Altmetrics integration. See:

6. New Google Analytics integration. See:

7. New PDF Cover Page feature. See:

We will be upgrading our production server sometime in July. After the
upgrade I will report on any extra upgrade items.

Cheers
