The WSO2 Gadget Server team is pleased to announce the release of version
1.2.0 available for download at http://wso2.org/downloads/gadget-server

New Features - OAuth Support
Gadget Server 1.2.0 comes with OAuth support for gadgets and an
Administration interface to manage OAuth keys.

- Carbon platform level fixes
This version includes fixes and improvements at the base WSO2 Carbon
platform level as well.

Key Features - Enterprise class Portal interface
Users get to organise gadgets in a familiar portal interface. Sets of
gadgets can be organised using tabs. Individual gadgets can be moved between
tabs as well as cloning an entire tab to be used as the foundation for a new
tab.

- Client Side Gadgets
Any gadget adhering to the Google Gadget Specification can be added to the
portal. These gadgets are basically HTML and Javascript embedded in XML.
They can be hosted in any publicly accessible Web Server. The URL of the
gadget XML is used to add them to the Portal.

- Enterprise Gadget Repository
Organisations can maintain a central repository of gadgets. Portal users can
browse and add gadgets from this repository to their individual portals,
while rating and commenting on individual gadgets.

- Anonymous Mode
Users can experience most of the Portal's functionality 'excluding' the
gadget Repository even before registration and sign in. All data in this
mode will be stored in the user's browser.

- Multi option user registration and sign in
User registration and sign in can be done using OpenID or Infocards in
addition to the traditional user name and password based scheme.

- Management Console
Helps configure and manage the server, its users and the Enterprise Gadget
Repository via an intuitive browser based administrative interface.

- Inter gadget communication
Inter-gadget communication support allows developers to write gadgets that
use a publish subscribe mechanism to communicate with each other.

- i18n Support
The gadgets can be written to support any international language and it is
supported by the gadget container.

- HTTP mode portal view
The portal is fully functional in HTTP, which removes warnings in some
browsers when running in HTTPS mode due to gadgets being always loaded from
HTTP URLs.

- Gadget Editor
Gadgets stored in the registry can be edited using a browser based editor.
