Hi everyone,
Here's our current Release 6.6. plan: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse-pm/issues/364
As always, dates are a bit approximate but pretty close!
Questions? Please drop them here.
Thanks.
@luddaniel @Florian Fritze @Vera Clemens @Dorothea Iglezakis @KirΓ‘ly PΓ©ter @Johannes D you all have open PRs that don't have the 6.6 milestone on them. Please let us know by the "last call" date (Feb. 12) if you'd like us to consider any of them for 6.6. Thanks!
Hey Phil,
this would be our wishlist (highest prio first)
https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/pull/11180
https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/pull/10567
https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/pull/11172
Thanks for asking!
@Dimitri Szabo Do you think that #11217 should be in 6.6 ?
@Johannes D thanks, I just moved this PR by @Vera Clemens back into "in review" (and left a comment): Fix sorting of dataset drafts and minor versions when sorting by "newest first" #11180
@Johannes D I just left a review on this one: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/pull/10567#pullrequestreview-2601948527 (we can start a new topic here in Zulip if you like so we don't muddy this topic about the 6.6 timeline).
@Johannes D This one is already in Sprint Ready, at least: fix: don't duplicate nested compound fields in metadataBlocks returned by search API #11172 . Since it your lowest priority PR maybe that's enough.
@luddaniel This PR is already in "Sprint Ready" as well: 10217 source name harvesting client #11217
So, to summarize, none of the PRs above have been given the 6.6 milestone yet. If you look at https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/milestones/6.6 you'll see only our normal "do the release" issues.
All of the PRs except #10567 are at least on our board, either the main Sprint Board or the Sprint Planning board.
Let's keep talking before the Feb 12 deadline. Maybe we can add the 6.6 milestone to some of the PRs. Thanks for the feedback!
@Philip Durbin βοΈ very helpfully clarified the process here. I also just updated our 6.6 tracking issue to reflect his clarification. Thanks again, Phil! :thank_you:

We could also have a short videocall?
@Johannes D sure, could you start a new topic, please? Here in Zulip, I mean.
I have no issues taking these through QA (for the PRs mentioned above). Let me know!
@Philip Durbin βοΈ About https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/pull/11087. The metadatablock itself (together with properties file) is ready, the only thing missing is a good migration path for existing entries in the metadata fields storageRequirements and memoryRequirements. I'm not completely sure, what the best approach would be. At least in our instance, there are a lot of entries that need manual migration.
@Dorothea Iglezakis thanks! I'll reply in the PR. Or please feel free to start a new thread here in Zulip.
Hi, it's a bit passed the deadline but we didn't expect our gdcc/cvoc PR to be merged so fast (thanks Jim!), could https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/pull/11258 be added to the release?
It is just a mention on the Support for the External Vocabulary Service Ontoportal whose conf and example files have been added to the gdcc repo
Just a release note? Sure, added!
Is there an expected release date for 6.6? :smile:
@Vera Clemens good question. This is the PR to keep any eye on: DisplayOnCreate Fixes #11343
As we wrote above, the approximate release date was this past Friday.
#11343 has been merged
Dataverse 6.6 is out! https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/releases/tag/v6.6
Here's the official announcement (nicely done, @Ceilyn Boyd): https://groups.google.com/g/dataverse-community/c/sRrbad1o8GY/m/xTD73yVNAwAJ
