Access PKP software releases
PKP is pleased to announce these releases:
These are maintenance releases, collecting a number of minor bug fixes. Several of the fixes included are security related, but none are high risk. We recommend upgrading as always to the most recent stable release, but there is no need for urgency.
The OJS, OMP, and OPS 3.4.0-4 releases include updated translations.
🎉 Thanks to our incredible community of translation, code, testing, documentation, and financial contributors, who make these releases possible!
