3.0.0 RC3

Sent on 28/Mar/08 to uportal-user and uportal-dev

JA-SIG is proud to announce the release of uPortal 3.0.0 Release Candidate 3. This is the third release in the uPortal 3.0.0 line based on the core uPortal code base and the second 3.0.0 release candidate based on the core uPortal code base. Full release notes are available http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/UPC/3.0.0+RC3 along with a uPortal 3.0 release overview http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/UPC/3.0

This release includes the following new features and fixes:

• The default portal content has been revised. The tabs and content are now much more appropriate for each user along with better showcasing the functionality and possibilities of uPortal. A huge thank you to Gary Thompson from Unicon and Jen Bourey from Yale for this work put together on a very short time line.
• Simplified JDBC and uPortal webapp name configuration.
• Resolved an exception with portlet preferences on Oracle UP-1977

Note: This release has made changes to the uPortal database. To use RC3 against the same data base as RC2 you will need to use the 'crn-export' ant task to export all of your data, then drop and re-create your database with the exported data. Manual

Source and Quick Start downloads are available on the uPortal All Release page. The generated Maven site which includes JavaDocs and other interesting content is available as well: http://developer.ja-sig.org/projects/uportal/3.0.0-RC3/

This Release Candidate is Feature Complete. At this point the only changes that will be made before a General Audience release are bug fixes. I would encourage everyone to try the release and please file bugs that you find in the JA-SIG Issue Tracker

I want to thank everyone who contributed to the development both directly and in-directly. Having this developer community available for both code and design insight has been invaluable.
