Perhaps instructions on just how to add the locale picker to the guest layout would be sufficient? I don't believe this is something we've ever provided in previous releases.

The sign in URLs are configured in web.xml and security.properties. We will be including instructions in the manual on how to change these URLs to specify a different host name. I don't think the CAS libraries we are using can dynamically figure out the host name as they are more commonly used when the CAS server is running on a different host.


Thanks for the feedback!

Hi,

Congratulations to everyone and I have a small question.

I know this is a feature complete release, but is it at least possible to include the locale changer on the front unauthenticated page.

Also, I don't know this is worth to file an issue, but the Sign in link in the quickstart leads to localhost, so one can not easily try this. Isn't it possible to detect the used hostname from the request?

JA-SIG is proud to announce the release of uPortal 3.0.0 Release Candidate 2. This is the second release in the uPortal 3.0.0 line based on the core uPortal code base and the first 3.0.0 release candidate based on the core uPortal code base. Full release notes are available http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/UPC/3.0.0+RC2^ along with a uPortal 3.0 release overview http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/UPC/3.0^

This release includes the following new features and fixes:

    * A new theme and skin along with a more understandable directory
      structure for layout and skin related files. The new skin is
      also using jQuery to provide drag and drop features which are
      enabled by default. Thanks to Gary Thompson from Unicon and Jen
      Bourey from Yale for this work.
    * Layout cache friendly dynamic title support for channels and
      portlets. Dynamic titles for channels and portlets work on every
      render now. Thanks to Nick Bolton from Unicon for this work.
    * Quickstart generation scripts. Quickstart generation is now as
      simple as running an Ant task.
    * Consistent cache scheme and configuration based on
      Spring-Modules Caching API. Most existing dynamic caches have
      been converted to use the new API and it is currently backed by
      EHCache though other caching frameworks can easily be used.
    * CAS 3.2 is bundled with uPortal and is used as the default
      authentication mechanism. Thanks to Scott Battaglia from
      Rutgers, Andrew Petro from Unicon and Jen Bourey from Yale for
      this work.
    * CAS Proxy tickets are available to JSR-168 portlets as a user
      attribute. Thanks to Jen Bourey from Yale for this work.

Source and Quick Start downloads are available on the uPortal All Release^ <http://www.uportal.org/release/allReleases.html> page. The generated Maven site which includes JavaDocs and other interesting is available as well: http://developer.ja-sig.org/projects/uportal/3.0.0-RC2/^

This Release Candidate is Feature Complete. At this point the only changes that will be made before a General Audience release are bug fixes. I would encourage everyone to try the release and please file bugs that you find in the JA-SIG Issue Tracker^ <http://www.ja-sig.org/issues/secure/CreateIssue.jspa?pid=10020&issuetype=1&Next%3E%3E=Next%3E%3E>

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.

uPortal 3.0.0 Release Engineer,
-Eric Dalquist
