included the following bug fixes and enhancements:

Bugs:

3. Upgrade to latest Spring 2.5.6 to fix bugs introduced in 2.5.5 that affected flow timeout

OpenRegistry Update

Most of the information related to OpenRegistry has been migrated to the JASIG Wiki. Rutgers continues to hold local discussions around OpenRegistry and publishes all of those items into the wiki. We actively encourage others who are evaluating OpenRegistry to do the same.

JASIG has also offered OpenRegistry a number of mailing lists. Those lists are available now: http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/JSG/Open+Registry+Project+Lists
