3.0.0 Milestone 5

JA-SIG is proud to announce the release of uPortal 3.0.0 Milestone 5. This is the first release in the uPortal 3.0.0 line based on the core uPortal codebase. The release includes a switch to Maven 2 for the build management system, a unified Spring configuration, Pluto 1.1 for portlet rendering and the Cernunnos based import/export tools. Full release notes are available http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/UPC/3.0.0+Milestone+5 along with a uPortal 3.0 release overview http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/UPC/3.0

Binary and quick start distributions are not being created for this release, however it can be checked out using Subversion: 'svn checkout https://www.ja-sig.org/svn/up2/tags/rel-3-0-0-M5/ uPortal_3.0.0-M5'. Documentation regarding the project structure and build system are linked from the uPortal 3.0 release overview and from the uPortal 3 Development documentation http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/UPC/uPortal+3+Development+Documentation

This is a very complete and stable milestone release and I would encourage everyone to check it out and try building and deploying it. Please feel free to ask any questions and provide any feedback on the code base. Over the next few weeks the remaining known issues will be completed and additional features, such as integration of the Fluid reorderer and a new theme, will be reviewed for availability and if possible added before the release candidate.

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.
