Grouper v1.2.1-rc1 is now available for download on the Grouper wiki:
<https://wiki.internet2.edu/confluence/display/GrouperWG/Software+Download>.

Grouper v1.2.1 is a maintenance release in which a few bugs have been 
fixed and performance has been substantially improved. Some modest 
functional enhancements have also been made to the UI. Significant gains 
have been achieved by tuning how the API interacts with the relational 
back-end and its caching strategy, and both the API and UI use new 
strategies to check privileges. The project team has also identified 
some promising new approaches to achieve even further gains that we hope 
to roll out in Grouper v1.3.0.

Details on the improvements can found in the Internet2 Jira issue tracker

Please do email this list with any issues you find or other observations 
you have on the release candidate. Barring any serious issue arising, we 
plan to release v1.2.1 proper on December 3rd or 4th.

Enjoy!
