is now the target platform, and upgrades of library dependencies to the
most modern versions possible for stability as development effort on Fedora
shifts towards Fedora 4. It is recommended that all current users upgrade
to Fedora 3.7.0.

The Fedora 3.7.0 and 3.7.1 releases will be the last in the 3.0
line<http://duraspace.org/node/612> prior
to the release of Fedora 4.0. Fedora 3.0 was launched in July of 2008
offering users an integrated structure–Content Model Architecture–for
persisting and delivering the essential characteristics of digital objects
in Fedora. The final 3.0 releases are aimed at making sure that Fedora 3
users continue to have access to stable repository functionality.

The Fedora repository platform is an unqualified success in the digital
preservation and repository arena. More than twelve years since its
inception, the project has seen three major releases, has hundreds of
institutional adopters worldwide, and is the centerpiece of countless
systems where preservation is a primary function.
