Sakai 2.1.2 is now available!

Please visit: http://sakaiproject.org/release

Thanks to all the designers, developers, testers, and support folks who
helped us get it out the door!

Sakai 2.1.2 offers functionality improvements in addition to the latest
round of fixes to issues unearthed in the 2.1 code; since 2.1.1, 391
reported issues were addressed and 72 enhancements were incorporated.
Among the key improvements are better integration between the
Assignments and Gradebook tools, and significant refinements based on
Rutgers University's contributions to Sakai's WebDAV and Access
servlets. See the release notes for a complete list of the fixes in
2.1.2, including details on those changes which may impact local
customizations:

Open Source Portfolio (OSP) will also be releasing a bundled version of
OSP 2.1 and Sakai 2.1.2, which is targeted for mid-April. See the OSP
website for more details:

The 2.1 series is marked most prominently by the inclusion of course
sections and making several of the bundle tools "section-aware," but
there are other new tools and many improvements to the code. 2.1 is
also the first level of release to include provisional tools from the
broader community. See the Documentation area for more details:

The next major Sakai release will be 2.2 and is planned for mid-June
2006. Feature freeze for this release is scheduled for 1 May 2006.
