MWF 1.3 Deployments
  • UCLA deployed MWF 1.3 on August 17
    • Upgrade itself went smoothly and on schedule
    • Several sites found with display issues caused by Forms API
      • .NET is the predominate purveyor of this issue due to Web Forms API

      • Still, this sort of incompatibility during upgrades is sought to be avoided
    • No other major issues reported
