Warning

uPortal 3.x is an independent development branch currently located in the JA-SIG sandbox. It represents a complete re-architecture of the uPortal framework. While it is expected to encompass most of the featureset of uPortal 2.x, it is a separate codebase, and work items listed above do not apply to uP 3.x. This release is incomplete, undergoing active development, and may change at any time. It is NOT recommended for production deployment at this time. While a migration path from uPortal 2.x is a high-priority work item for the uP 3.x project, backwards compatibility is NOT guaranteed, and significant work may be required to migrate existing installations.
