Re:[uportal-dev] [uportal-user] uPortal 3.0.0-RC3 Released

[Eric Dalquist]

An issue was discovered by Mark Roedel where the quickstart releases would not run on JDK5. This was due to an open JDK6 compiler bug which we will be working around for future releases. For now updated quickstart distributions have been created using JDK5 and have been uploaded to http://www.uportal.org/release/allReleases.html as of 10:30am CDT. If you are planning on running the quickstart on JDK5 please re-download the distribution.

Thank you,
-Eric Dalquist

JA-SIG is proud to announce the release of uPortal 3.0.0 Release Candidate 3. This is the third release in the uPortal 3.0.0 line based on the core uPortal code base and the second 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+RC3 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:

    * The default portal content has been revised. The tabs and
      content are now much more appropriate for each user along with
      better showcasing the functionality and possibilities of
      uPortal. A huge thank you to Gary Thompson from Unicon and Jen
      Bourey from Yale for this work put together on a very short time
      line.
    * Simplified JDBC and uPortal webapp name configuration.
    * Resolved an exception with portlet preferences on Oracle UP-1977
      <http://www.ja-sig.org/issues/browse/UP-1977>

*Note: This release has made changes to the uPortal database. To use RC3 against the same data base as RC2 you will need to use the 'crn-export' ant task to export all of your data, then drop and re-create your database with the exported data. Manual <http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/UPM30/09+From+3.0.0-RC2+to+3.0.0-RC3>*

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 content is available as well: http://developer.ja-sig.org/projects/uportal/3.0.0-RC3/

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 <http://www.ja-sig.org/issues/secure/CreateIssue.jspa?pid=10020&issuetype=1&Next%3E%3E=Next%3E%3E>

uPortal 3.0.0 Release Engineer,
-Eric Dalquist

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.
