uPortal 4.0.1 GA announcement

Jasig is proud to announce the general audience release of uPortal 4.0.1. The first of our scheduled monthly patch releases for uPortal 4.0 we've fixed a number of issues that have been brought up by initial adopters.

Important Update Notes

  1. The admin-lo layout in 4.0.0 incorrectly includes the fragment-admin portlet in the layout header, this can cause extraneous warnings in the portal log. To resolve this problem follow the steps below:
    1. Export the admin-lo layout: ant data-export -Dtype=fragment-layout -Dsysid=admin-lo -Ddir=export
    2. Edit the export/admin-lo.fragment-layout.xml file and remove the <channel fname="fragment-layout"/> element, there will be other attributes on the element.
    3. Import the admin-lo layout: ant data-import -Dfile=export/admin-lo.fragment-layout.xml
  2. There are a few new tables in 4.0.1. To add these tables run ant db-hibernate-update once you have the 4.0.1 source installed.
