Subject: [dspace-community] Now available: DSpace 5.8 release, providing an ImageMagick thumbnail performance fix

Dear DSpace Community:

On behalf of the DSpace developers, I would like to formally announce that DSpace 5.8 is now available.

 *   DSpace 5.8 can be downloaded immediately from: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/releases/tag/dspace-5.8

 *   5.8 Release notes are available at https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC5x/Release+Notes#ReleaseNotes-5.8ReleaseNotes

5.8 Bug Fixes

DSpace 5.8 contains a fix for a bug introduced in DSpace 5.7. As it only provides bug fixes, DSpace 5.8 should constitute an easy upgrade from DSpace 5.x for most users. No database changes or additional configuration changes should be necessary when upgrading from DSpace 5.x to 5.8.

Major bug fixes include:

 *   Resolve a performance issue in the ImageMagick Thumbnail Creation process for PDF files. DS-3661
Other minor fixes

 *   Update automated testing resources. DS-3674
 *   Set a particular version for CSS processing in Mirage2

5.8 Acknowledgments
The 5.8 release was led by the DSpace Committers. The following individuals provided code or bug fixes to the 5.8 release: Terry Brady (terrywbrady), Tim Donohue (tdonohue), Hardy Pottinger (hardyoyo).  Release support provided by Mark Wood (mwood).
