COmanage News and Announcements

[Benn Oshrin <>]

Internet2 and the COmanage Project are pleased to announce the
concurrent releases of COmanage Registry versions 2.0.2 and 3.0.0.

Version 3.0.0 is a feature release, primarily focused on introducing a
refreshed user interface with improved capabilities:

* Improved rendering on mobile devices
* Improved accessibility (WCAG compliance)
* QR codes to initiate Enrollment Flows

Version 2.0.2 contains various bug fixes.

We recommend all deployments upgrade to one of these releases.

Because the look and feel of 3.0.0 is significantly different, we will
provide a transition opportunity to sites deployed on 2.0 by maintaining
the 2.0 series through the end of 2017, but only for security fixes or
bugs reported by and affecting current 2.0 deployments. All other
development will move to the 3.x series.

It should largely be a "drop-in" upgrade from 2.0.x to 3.0.0, though the
usual upgrade procedures should be followed. Custom plugins may need
changes to their views. Deployments on 1.0.0 or later may upgrade
directly to either of these releases. Deployments on earlier versions
must follow the previously described upgrade paths to 1.0.0 before
upgrading.
