DSpace 8.0-RC1 Release of the Backend / REST API only.
As a RC (Release Candidate) release, this is NOT PRODUCTION READY. This release is for use during Testathon. More information is available about the 8.0 final release
This DSpace Backend does not have a user friendly interface. Therefore, we highly recommend installing the DSpace 8 Frontend dspace-8.0-rc1 release to use with this Backend. Please note that the Frontend and Backend do not need to be installed on the same machine. (Note: it is also possible to run this Backend "headless" if you only want to use the DSpace REST API)
Download links for the Frontend are available below (see Assets). You may alternatively choose to checkout the code via GitHub, using the dspace-8.0-rc1 tag.
