Forum OpenACS Q&A: MIT Sloan update

Collapse
Posted by Andrew Grumet on

Here are some notes from the SloanSpace front for those of you who are keeping tabs.

A few weeks ago we completed a massive code update, bringing in the latest goodness from OpenACS 4.6.3 and dotLRN 1.0.1.

Some especially great news is that many of our local Sloan changes were generalized and brought back into the OpenACS and dotLRN trees. So we were able to replace a lot of customized files with standard files. Good good good. Don and Jeff were largely responsible for code merging in both directions. You guys rock!

Our thanks also go out to the community, who make OpenACS and dotLRN stronger and better every day.

Just for fun, here are the specific package versions that we updated:
