Announcement of uPortal 2.6.1 GA

uPortal community,

I am pleased to announce the availability of the "general audience" release of uPortal 2.6.1. This release is available for immediate download from the uPortal website and is tagged in SVN.

Since the GA release of uPortal 2.6.0, several issues have been addressed, including a functional off-line build and deploy script.

Many people contributed code, testing, feedback, and issues leading up to the uPortal 2.6.1 release, including Nick Bolton, Timothy Carroll, Eric Dalquist, Andy Gherna, Cris Holdorph, Brad Johnson and Andrew Wills, to name a few. These people and others deserve credit for their parts in making uPortal possible.
