>> This release includes the following new features and fixes:

>>       also using jQuery to provide drag and drop features which are
>>       enabled by default. Thanks to Gary Thompson from Unicon and Jen

>>     * Layout cache friendly dynamic title support for channels and

>>       render now. Thanks to Nick Bolton from Unicon for this work.
>>     * Quickstart generation scripts. Quickstart generation is now as
>>       simple as running an Ant task.
>>     * Consistent cache scheme and configuration based on
>>       Spring-Modules Caching API. Most existing dynamic caches have
>>       been converted to use the new API and it is currently backed by
>>       EHCache though other caching frameworks can easily be used.
>>     * CAS 3.2 is bundled with uPortal and is used as the default
>>       authentication mechanism. Thanks to Scott Battaglia from
>>       Rutgers, Andrew Petro from Unicon and Jen Bourey from Yale for
>>       this work.
>>     * CAS Proxy tickets are available to JSR-168 portlets as a user
