Version 5.1.0 is a new minor release for the uPortal 5 line. It includes all the bug fixes and documentation updates in patch versions 5.0.1 through 5.0.7, plus several new features. There is a full list of completed tickets in JIRA.
New Features
This is a list of the changes included with this version that are not present in any release of 5.0.x.
- Provide four (4) new layout options based on CSS Flexbox: 2-, 3-, 4-, and 6-column
- Provide a simple, secure way of sharing identity and role information to REST APIs based on OpenID Connect
- Convert the "footer sitemap" feature (Respondr) from an XSL template to a portlet, allowing admins to control its presence (or absence) more easily and with more nuance (e.g. present for some users based on role)
- Provide a mechanism for configuring which Soffit data model elements are included in the request; include none of them by default
- Reserve use of certain accessibility landmarks for main uPortal skin only
