In working on the new version of layout.json (https://github.com/Jasig/uPortal/pull/541), I noticed that the portlets are invoked with portletWorkerThreads in the rendering pipeline in minimized mode. This appears to be purely to set the "newItemCount" property in the response (https://issues.jasig.org/secure/attachment/14813/v1%20admin%20layout.json). I verified with Oakland that uMobile does not use this property.

I plan on changing the json pipeline processing to not actually invoke the portlets. I think the layout information should be purely layout-related, and a portlet that wants to relay state information should provide that information in a resource request or similar.

If you have concerns with me making this backwards-compatible-breaking change, please let me know.

Thanks,
