JA-SIG is proud to announce the release of uPortal 3.0.0 Release
Candidate 2. This is the second release in the uPortal 3.0.0 line based
on the core uPortal code base and the first 3.0.0 release candidate
based on the core uPortal code base. Full release notes are available http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/UPC/3.0.0+RC2
along with a uPortal 3.0 release overview http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/UPC/3.0
This release includes the following new features and fixes:
- A new theme and skin along with a more understandable
directory structure for layout and skin related files. The new skin is
also using jQuery to provide drag and drop features which are enabled
by default. Thanks to Gary Thompson from Unicon and Jen Bourey from
Yale for this work.
- Layout cache friendly dynamic title
support for channels and portlets. Dynamic titles for channels and
portlets work on every render now. Thanks to Nick Bolton from Unicon
for this work.
- Quickstart generation scripts. Quickstart generation is now as
simple as running an Ant task.
- Consistent
cache scheme and configuration based on Spring-Modules Caching API.
Most existing dynamic caches have been converted to use the new API and
it is currently backed by EHCache though other caching frameworks can
easily be used.
- CAS 3.2 is bundled with uPortal and is used
as the default authentication mechanism. Thanks to Scott Battaglia from
Rutgers, Andrew Petro from Unicon and Jen Bourey from Yale for this
work.
- CAS Proxy tickets are available to JSR-168 portlets as a user
attribute. Thanks to Jen Bourey from Yale for this work.
Source and Quick Start downloads are available on the uPortal All Release
page. The generated Maven site which includes JavaDocs and other
interesting is available as well: http://developer.ja-sig.org/projects/uportal/3.0.0-RC2/
This Release Candidate is Feature Complete. At this point the only
changes that will be made before a General Audience release are bug
fixes. I would encourage everyone to try the release and please file
bugs that you find in the JA-SIG Issue Tracker
I want to thank everyone who contributed to the development both
directly and in-directly. Having this developer community available for
both code and design insight has been invaluable.
uPortal 3.0.0 Release Engineer,
