2.9.0

Citations/Google Scholar

retired

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.

2.9.0

NeoChat

disabled

NeoChat is a new feature in 2.9.0. We recommend leaving neochat disabled in a production environment until performance and usability tests are completed
