Configuration Changes for Sakai 2.6

Compatibility with Previous Releases

Unless you plan on using a new feature introduced in Sakai 2.6, you can continue to use your existing post-2.4 and 2.5 Citations configuration files "as is". Information on configuring the Citations Helper for Sakai 2.4 and 2.5 is still available.
