Hi everyone,

We're happy to announce that Dataverse 6.7 is now available with several new features and bug fixes. Payara was also upgraded to 6.2025.3.

New features. New release 6.7 features include:

• Ability to limit the number of files per dataset
• Curation status label enhancements
• Configurable search services
• Linking drafts
• Dataset metadata exports from drafts
• An API for switching Datasets to DOIs, for example
• Local Contexts' Traditional Knowledge (TK) Labels
• Model Context Protocol (MCP) server
• A new AI Guide
• OJS 3 is now a supported integration
• Tagged Docker images
• Rate limiting statistics API

Other great improvements and updates.
For documentation writers:

• Sphinx was upgraded to 7.4.0
  For developers:

• Development of Dataverse on Windows has been confirmed to work in some instances

• A Keycloak SPI, builtin-users-spi, has been implemented, allowing the use of Keycloak on instances with built-in accounts for OIDC authentication.
• Security enhancements have been made to XML parser configurations, and certain file previewers are now available in the development environment, along with documentation and configuration instructions.

Please refer to the release notes for additional bug fixes, updates, and new features.

Many thanks to everyone who contributed code, suggestions, bug reports, and other assistance across the project. :orange_heart:

Heya! Just upgraded to 6.7 -- I have two issues with the release notes for upgrading:

• Before "5. Download and deploy this version" you have to start payara again in order to be able to run the "asadmin" command
• In "13. Update Solr schema and reindex" the link to the schema file is pointing to the 6.6 version, not 6.7

All good otherwise!
