Is there an estimated time frame for when we might expect a “for reals” 4.2 release that would be ready for production use? Exciting stuff!

You're welcome! Release documentation can be time-consuming, but I think it makes the release more approachable for would-be adopters and the wider public to understand what progress has been made. I've a proposal for making the human-readable release notes a more sustainable feature of uPortal's development and release process, distribute the work a little better and save it up a little less for the release engineer: https://github.com/Jasig/uPortal/pull/501 Anyone else think this is a good idea?

I have one minor correction. The statement 'Portlet resource cache controls<https://issues.jasig.org/browse/UP-4264> now work better.' should be removed. The Jira issue was marked Resolved - Won't fix. After digging into it I found that uPortal was working properly, but you had to handle eTag processing a certain way that wasn't well documented (and is now clearly documented at https://wiki.jasig.org/display/UPM41/Portlet+Caching). Thanks for putting together the milestone release and the excellent documentation!

The milestone release is also a tool to start talking about what a uPortal 4.2 release for reals would look like. I think there’s enough goodness there and it’s time to enter the release candidate process for uPortal 4.2. Perhaps kick the tires and eyeball the release notes and see if you agree? These developers contributed commits included in this milestone release: * Anthony Colebourne * Aaron Grant * Josh Helmer * Tim Levett * Jodie Muramoto * Andrew Petro * Tim Vertein * James Wennmacher * Drew Wills Kind regards, Andrew PS: See also * [the release page in Confluence](https://wiki.jasig.org/display/UPC/4.2.0-m1) On Mon Dec 29 2014 at 11:28:52 AM James Wennmacher <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Did a quick query. Looks like 62 issues resolved in 4.2.0 and not in 4.0.x or 4.1.x. This might be missing a few. I recall a few pull requests were processed without marking the Jira issues resolved (the release process should manually go back and look for those). Quick glance is that I see primary changes include: * transient layout portlet changes * lightbox config for portlets in regions * hover chrome for portlets without chrome * marketplace improvements * some changes to dynamic skin in Respondr * Tin Can API * Client-side session timeout pop-up * Groovy compilation improvements in build (though nothing takes advantage of this yet) * Legal footer from JSP to Simple Content Portlet * REST API enhancements, primarily driven by Marketplace portlet * Upgrading of internal and bundled portlets to use newer jQuery versions (also picks up some nicer UI changes in some portlets) https://issues.jasig.org/browse/UP-4360?jql=resolution%20%3D%20Fixed%20and%20fixVersion%20%3D%204.2.0%20and%20fixVersion%20not%20in%20(4.0.14%2C%204.0.15%2C%204.0.16%2C%204.1.0%2C%204.1.1%2C%204.1.2%2C%204.1.3) One note is to do a release I think the license header change from Jasig to Apereo will pop up (it has in the portlet project releases). That means we'll have a change to most files as part of the release milestone unless we decide to push that off. ________________________________ From: "Andrew Petro" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Monday, December 29, 2014 7:11:05 AM Subject: [uportal-dev] uPortal 4.2 release march I'd like to cut a 4.2.0-M1 milestone release in the next 24 hours or so, see if master is feeling like enough progress since 4.1 to be worth releasing.
