Release Notes

The uPortal Community and the uPortal Steering Committee announce version 5.1.0 of uPortal: the leading open source enterprise portal framework built by and for higher education institutions, K-12 schools, and research communities.

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
  • Provide documentation in French 🇫🇷

Thanks to everyone who contributed!
