9. 2uPortal Master vs 4.3.x Patches
(uPortal proto-v5)

10. Semantic Versioning
Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:
1. MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes,
2. MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards-compatible
manner, and
3. PATCH version when you make backwards-compatible bug fixes.
http://semver.org/

11. 4.3.x Patches Branch
This branch should be focused on correcting bugs and other necessary changes
without adding new features or functionality.
https://github.com/Jasig/uPortal/tree/rel-4-3-patches
“PATCH version when you make backwards-compatible bug fixes.”

12. Master Branch
Master is not broken but …
It is very active and moving fast
Not backwards compatible with previous versions, including 4.3 patches
Packages have been moved from org.jasig to org.apereo
Ant & Maven tooling is in the midst of being replaced by Gradle
https://github.com/Jasig/uPortal/

13. The Big Question
What to do about minor improvements needed between
now and uPortal 5 public release later this year?
https://github.com/Jasig/uPortal/tree/rel-4-???

19. 4UW-Madison AngularJS Portal

20. UW-Madison AngularJS Portal
Lightweight front-end based on AngularJS (v1)
Latest release is 6.0.0
Active development
4.2 released in January 2016
5.0 released in June 2016
6.0 released in December 2016
Goal is a modern façade to enable developers that are more experienced with
newer technologies

21. UW-Madison AngularJS Portal
Design is a card or tile motif. The client-side code retrieves the user layout from
uPortal. This drives the single collection of cards or tiles to be displayed. The user
can then click on one, which redirects their browser to a maximized view of the
related portlet.
Tiles can also be extended to provide additional details in it’s body. RSS Feed is a
good example.

25. 6Sustaining Engineering Plan Q1 2017

26. Sustaining Engineering Plan Q1 2017
uPortal 5

27. uPortal Master - proto-v5
High-Level Goals
Shift the customary deployment paradigm away from building on each portal server
Allow multiple adopters to deploy the same, Apereo-provided binaries
Move uPortal toward "cloud native"
Make uPortal easier to work with for developers, especially new developers
https://wiki.jasig.org/display/UPC/uPortal+5+Project+Overhaul

28. uPortal Master - proto-v5
Outcomes
Reinvent what implementing uPortal looks like
Reorganize uPortal source files into independent “modules”
Migration from the current Ant/Maven based build system to Gradle – a newer, more contemporary Java
build system
Make the builds faster
We will be able to have a build system that uses/builds binaries independently
Special Note: We hope to remove, where possible…
Unused code
@Depricated code
Unpopular features

29. uPortal Master - proto-v5
Status/Timeline
Not much progress in Q4, unfortunately
Much activity planned for Q1, 2017 (beginning February)
Release target: June 2017 (Open Apereo)

30. Sustaining Engineering Plan Q1 2017

GitHub
