Work in progress for June 2024

[Benito Gonzalez]

Hi folks,

We have some folks working on a variety of efforts, so I thought it would be a good idea to share with you all.

1. Pull requests are actively being reviewed. Bill has walked through PRs and shared what he found. Several will be tested and merged soon.

2. The portlet preference rest controller PR will get some love. We hope to have this revised and ready for review in the next few weeks.

3. Some outdated JavaScript libraries are being updated or removed. This will take some time, but we should see PRs over the summer.

4. Gary is taking on the task of upgrading uPortal core to a newer version of Spring. Note that Spring 5+ no longer supports portlets, but we have found an open source project that brings this back into Spring 5. But ....

We are starting to dig into what changes are coming in uPortal 6. It would be great to drop portlets, but we would like to hear more from the community on this. There will be other breaking changes, such as requiring a newer version of Java, Tomcat, and Gradle. Expect internal changes as well. I am excited to re-architect the portal along components. Think microservices architecture without the networking requirement.

More soon; stay tuned!

Hi,

About dropping portlets, is there any roadmap for replacing heavily used ones ( NewsReader, SimpleContentPortlet, ...  ) ? Will uPortal 6 include them ?

Regards.

Jerome NENERT.
