2.9.0Citations/Google Scholarretired
Google has discontinued Sakai support in Google Scholar with the new Google Scholar UI introduced earlier this year. This was confirmed directly with Google. For more information, see a sakai-dev post from May 2012: http://collab.sakaiproject.org/pipermail/sakai-dev/2012-May/017347.html
For now, the problem can be fixed by adding a "sciui=2" parameter to the Google Scholar URL to force the old Google Scholar UI, but it's not clear how long Google will keep the old interface available.
2.9.0NeoChatdisabledNeoChat is a new feature in 2.9.0. We recommend leaving neochat disabled in a production environment until performance and usability tests are completed
