SAK-16419

In 2.6.0 a feature was implemented to allow existing sites to serve as site templates. This was handled by adding the property site.templates and specifying a comma-delimited list of existing sites chosen to serve as templates. For 2.7.0 this property has been eliminated. Instead, the Sites tool must now be used to add the property template with a value equal to true for sites chosen to serve as site templates. Additionally, sites previously designated as site templates must be re-flagged using the Sites tool. In a future release there is a plan to add a checkbox indicating that a site is serving as a template. 2.6.0, 2.5.2

ProfileImageServiceImpl includes a recursive method call that can result in a StackOverflowError error. Normal operation of the tool is largely unaffected but errors can result if users view images via in the roster. This bug has been addressed in the profile-1.3.12 release.

Although Java SE 6 is the recommended JVM for Sakai 2.7.0, a number of tools fail to compile. The workaround is to add -Dsun.lang.ClassLoader.allowArraySyntax=true to JAVA_OPTS.

Requires manual database script

The Sakai 2.7 Release includes a new feature that supports dynamic localization
of page and tool titles. To accomodate "custom titles" that should not be
translated, a new "sitePage.customTitle" property has been introduced to the
definition of pages.

In order to avoid losing any custom page/tool title changes made in previous releases, the
following zip file should be unpacked and the enclosed perl script must be run.

   https://jira.sakaiproject.org/secure/attachment/24199/custom-title-patch.zip

This script will generate SQL that sets the custom page title flag for specified tools that have locale-specific custom tool title names. This script will only
need to be run once. Future page/tool title customizations will persist.
