uPortal developers,
uPortal 2.6.1 release candidate one is now available from the uPortal downloads page.

A release candidate signals "feature completeness", makes a binary available for easy downloading and testing, and provides a concrete artifact to talk about and open issues against. It also defines a serious candidate for release as uPortal 2.6.1 GA. There are a short list of known issues to be resolved before GA, but it's a short list. Unless additional significant issues are raised, this will be uPortal 2.6.1.

Release notes are available in the wiki.

Since the GA release of uPortal 2.6.0, six issues have been addressed, including a functional off-line build and deploy script.

Many people contributed code, testing, feedback, and issues leading up to the uPortal 2.6.1 RC1 release, including Nick Bolton, Timothy Carroll, Eric Dalquist, Andy Gherna, Cris Holdorph, Brad Johnson and Andrew Wills, to name a few. These people and others deserve credit for their parts in making uPortal possible.
