Omeka S is different from Omeka Classic (aka, the 3.x series) in several respects, both in conception and in technology stack.
The severa; primary conceptual differences are that 1) it aims to be ‘multisite’, fitting the needs of institutions that need to deploy many Omeka sites from one installation, 2)the platform is designed to make the publication of linked data easy, and 3) it aims to have better interoperability with other systems, such as Fedora, DSpace, and data repositories.
The End User Documentation has its own section on the Omeka S site.
See the developer documentation.
Developers will also be interested in browsing the code for Omeka S modules in the modules organization.
Current packaged releases of Omeka S are available on the releases page.
The technology stack requirements for Omeka S move to significantly more contemporary practices and technologies.
