Tim,
In preparing release notes for uPortal 4.1.0 ( https://gist.github.com/apetro/c35b8891075af97a0b2b ), these topics seemed like they could especially use more love in the uPortal 4.1 manual: * Upgrading to uPortal 4.1 * Favorites * Marketplace * Multi-tenancy * JPA-backed PAGS * RenderHeaders support * Enhanced portlet publishing web-based UI * flagging portlets as hidden to impersonated users * SELECT_PORTLET_TYPE permission Kind regards, Andrew ________________________________ From: [email protected] <[email protected]> on behalf of Tim Raymond <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, July 14, 2014 2:54 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [uportal-dev] FREEZE master for 4.1.0 release Just to attempt to close the loop on the documentation and 4.1 release… We will be looking into the outstanding documentation needs related to the release... there is a little bit of work to be done there, but I also feel the release should move forward independent of the documentation. I like Andrew’s suggestion of noting that documentation efforts are ongoing. Isn’t that always the case ☺ Thanks Tim Raymond Director, Campus Applications Information Technology California State Polytechnic University, Pomona Phone: 909.869.6851 Cell: 909.260.3200 Fax: 909.979.6406 PGP Public Key: https://keyserver2.pgp.com/vkd/DownloadKey.event?keyid=0x2FDBD1EADDC19329 From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tim Raymond Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2014 2:07 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [uportal-dev] FREEZE master for 4.1.0 release Sorry I’m late weighing in here… I have Laura’s non-Merced email address and will reach out to her and seek a little guidance.

Does anyone have Laura M's contact info so we can ping her and find out what her process was going to be and how to access the information?

I did have in mind to nuance the link from the release notes to the manual with some kind of language about the documentation efforts are ongoing. I do think that there will need to be some documentation update efforts in support of uP 4.1 upgrades and implementations. I figure at this point the only realistic option is to pursue that in parallel to the 4.1.x patch series. I don't know how to diff and merge Confluence spaces.

Andrew was this on your task list? Laura had some way of seeing the changes to incorporate them from one space to another. Does anyone know how to do that? If not we may need to contact Laura for guidance. I know I made some edits to both 4.0 and 4.1, but not always to both, and sometimes I had different edits such as with the CAS Clearpass configuration so a completely automated process may not work well if there is one.

You can most immediately help by grabbing this changeset, testing it, and reassuring all that it ought to be merged already thanks-very-much. : https://github.com/Jasig/uPortal/pull/378<https://github.com/Jasig/uPortal/pull/378%E2%80%8B> : :) Long version: The good news is JIRA is now groomed to provide clearer reporting when you ask it questions about the uPortal 4.1.0 release (and the staged 4.1.0 release notes page now embeds a couple of those queries) and human-readable narrative release notes are coming together. uPortal 4.1.0 is a *huge* release in terms of the accumulated goodness since 4.0.0 (much of which has been doled out bit by bit in 4.0.x releases as well). There's a lot to be excited about in the 4.1 release and the tooling is coming together to communicate that substance. The other mostly good news is that I've been in a lot of training and conference this week about presenting skills, conveying presence, and modern UX design and development. I suggest that's great news in that all of those skills are good for the uPortal project. :) However, it does get in the way of heads down release engineering, and there's a limit to how much bandwidth abuse I'm willing to inflict on my fellow conference attendees, so remaining release tasks will click together bit by bit over the next few days. Again, the `master` freeze for 4.1.0 release engineering in no way blocks grabbing the `master` code to work with it and crafting branches and even pull requests for the fixes and improvements that will come into uPortal post 4.1.0. :) Kind regards, Andrew ________________________________ From: Andrew Petro Sent: Sunday, July 06, 2014 10:02 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: RE: FREEZE master for 4.1.0 release Made some good progress towards 4.1.0 release, but squaring that away is going to spill into this week. Again, master freeze to tie up the 4.1.0 release doesn't preclude sharing code, and it's certain that there will be a 4.1.1 patch release thereafter, so spiffying up feature branches for merge post-release is not misplaced effort even in the interim. :) Andrew ________________________________ From: Andrew Petro Sent: Thursday, July 03, 2014 12:26 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: FREEZE master for 4.1.0 release uPortal developers, I request that Jasig/uPortal/master be considered frozen to changes pending the release of uPortal 4.1.0 GA (or a RC, depending on the outcome of the now pending uPortal 4.1.0 release vote). Of course, part of the beauty of distributed source control is that `master` freeze for release in no way impairs collaboration upon and sharing of code. By all means, fix your favorite bug this weekend. Fixing bugs is patriotic. To the extent that there are changes that need to make it into the 4.1.0 GA release (or that RC), please be sure I'm aware.
