DSpace 1.4.1 Released

Scott Yeadon announces the release of DSpace 1.4.1 to the DSpace community. This release is principally bug fixes, stability and securing enhancements, and minor feature improvements.

Important things to note would be: Stats from older versions of DSpace are supported alongside the new log file format; improvement of HTTP status codes in relevant contexts; updated libraries and preventing spammers from using the Feedback page.

The DSpace community is pleased to announce the release of DSpace 1.4.1.

This stable release is primarily a bug fix release incorporating
numerous bugs/enhancements. Refer to the CHANGES file within the
distribution for the full list of enhancements.

The documentation for this release is bundled within the package. Note
that the dspace.org site is in the process of being migrated to the
Wiki, so the most up-to-date version of the documentation is only
available within the 1.4.1 distribution.

DSpace 1.4.1 can be downloaded from the files area at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dspace/ or from CVS using the tag
dspace-1_4_1.
