Hi,
Congratulations to everyone and I have a small question.
I know this is a feature complete release, but is it at least possible
to include the locale changer on the front unauthenticated page.
Also, I don't know this is worth to file an issue, but the Sign in link
in the quickstart leads to localhost, so one can not easily try this.
Isn't it possible to detect the used hostname from the request?

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^ <http://www.uportal.org/release/allReleases.html> page. The
generated Maven site which includes JavaDocs and other interesting is
available as well:

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,
