This new minor lease of uPortal includes some new capabilities.

Important Update Note!

The following sub-modules were removed from uPortal 5.6:

• uPortal-api-platform
• uPortal-api-platform-impl

These modules were not in use and won't be missed, but one of them (uPortal-api-platform) received some special handling in uPortal-start. Consequently, there are required changes to uPortal-start that must be made before uPortal 5.6 will work with uPortal-start.

The recommended way to get these required changes is to update your uPortal-start with changes from Apereo using Git. Use Git to bring in the changes necessary to run uPortal 5.6 in uPortal-start.
