3.1.0-RC2 announcement

Jasig is proud to announce the second Release Candidate of uPortal 3.1.0. I first want to thank all of the people who helped test 3.1.0-RC1 over the last two weeks to get us to this point. This release doesn't include any new features of note but focuses on bug fixing. The uPortal 3.1 release includes many new features contributed back by uPortal 3.0 adopters along with the updates from nearly a year of production use. At this time parties interested in new uPortal deployments are encouraged to strongly consider starting with uPortal 3.1.

This release is indented to be feature complete. The only differences between it and the GA will just be fixing bugs. That said there is always the possibility that a bug fix in a RC could cause incompatibility with the GA release.

Important Upgrading Note
uPortal 3.1.0 has had database changes that are incompatible with the 3.0 and 2.x releases. Upgrading to uPortal 3.1.0 will require using the crn-export scripts in your current install and then the crn-import scripts in your new uPortal 3.1.0 install. Pointing a uPortal 3.1.0 release at an older database will very likely not work and could cause database corruption.
