Jasig is proud to announce the general audience release of uPortal 4.0.8. This release includes 20 bug fixes and improvements on top of the 4.0.6. The largest change in 4.0.7 is the inclusion of a statistics reporting portlet that integrates with the event aggregation added in 4.0.6.

Features and Changes of Note

  • UP-3571 - JDK 7 is now supported for both build and runtime environments
  • UP-3602/UP-3597 - A Stats related timezone bug has been resolved, this may result in a short gap in the aggregated statistics data.

Updating from 4.0.0-4.0.5

If you have data you care about in the UP_LOGIN_EVENT_AGGREGATE table please back it up externally or rename the table before executing the following steps. db-update will drop this table.

After configuring your uPortal 4.0.8 source run:

  • ant db-update
