## 2016-11-01

- Add `dc.type` to the output options for Atmire's Listings and Reports module ([#286](https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/286))

![Listings and Reports with output type](2016/11/listings-and-reports.png)

## 2016-11-02

- Migrate DSpace Test to DSpace 5.5 ([notes](https://gist.github.com/alanorth/61013895c6efe7095d7f81000953d1cf))
- Run all updates on DSpace Test and reboot the server
- Looks like the OAI bug from DSpace 5.1 that caused validation at Base Search to fail is now fixed and DSpace Test passes validation! ([#63](https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/issues/63))
- Indexing Discovery on DSpace Test took 332 minutes, which is like five times as long as it usually takes
- At the end it appeared to finish correctly but there were lots of errors right after it finished:

```

```

- DSpace is still up, and a few minutes later I see the default DSpace indexer is still running
- Sure enough, looking back before the first one finished, I see output from both indexers interleaved in the log:

```

- I will raise a ticket with Atmire to ask them

## 2016-11-06

- After re-deploying and re-indexing I didn't see the same issue, and the indexing completed in 85 minutes, which is about how long it is supposed to take
