However, all databases we are dealing with do support views, so this should not become an issue. There is one view with group, subject and list (membership lightweight view), and we committed to keeping that view stable over releases. Chris will note this in the release steps page. It was also suggested that release steps include a warning that tables might change. *Namespace Transition* Namespace is ready for Grouper 1.5 There will be a few features added in Grouper 1.5.1. [AI] (Shilen) will document namespace transition in the wiki. Note: Shilen closed GRP-213 and opened GRP 338. [AI] (Everyone) will suggest better names for Namespace Transition (possibly: "object move or copy" "group/stem relocation support") *Subject API* There have been several changes to Subject API for Grouper 1.5. Subject API is maintained as a separate project in CVS, and in JIRA it is part of I2MI-Common. The group decided not to bring Subject API into the main Grouper project for now due to lack of time. However, the Subject API will be put on same the branch and tagged with the same version number as Grouper. Chris will update Subject API for custom sources in the wiki. *Change Log* The change log will include some entries that do not have a net impact on overall membership. These can be filtered out if desired. [AI] (Shilen) will work on handling of change logs for effective memberships (adding immediate memberships in the temp table and having the loader add effective memberships in real table). *Lite UI* The new Lite UI is linked from and considered a new screen of the UI. The new screen is called the “Lite membership management” screen. It provides an alternative way of managing members or groups. It could be expanded later to include managing privileges, etc. To use the new Lite UI, a _javascript_ enabled browser such as Firefox is needed. Chris will document this. *Testing* It’s recommended to run unit tests on a clean install or an upgrade. One should install the latest Grouper 1.4 QuickStart on whatever database is to be tested and then run the upgrade to do a clean install of Grouper 1.5 *Documentation* [AI] (Chris) will document roles and permissions and attribute framework in the wiki [AI] (Chris) will enhance the Notification/Change Log documentation in the wiki [AI] (Gary) will document the Administrative UI and User Audit in the wiki. [AI] (TomZ) will document Ldappc in the wiki. Wiki page names should start with the version number. [AI ] (Everyone) update the upgrade change log wiki page as needed re jars and config files, and upgrade instructions. [AI] (Tom) will create Release Notes. [AI] (SteveO) will update website and wiki as needed for Grouper 1.5.0 release. The new software will now be downloaded from the Grouper website instead of the Grouper wiki. CVS (not SVN) will be used for Grouper 1.5 *Other Notes for 1.5.0 (from bottom of Release Steps wiki page) * (Chris) Make a wiki page about the new SQL interface, how to interface with tables, and the membership lightweight view * (Chris) Add upgrade steps for subject API * (Chris) Tag / branch subject API with same version as Grouper * (Chris) Update browser support page with new versions for Ajax UI * (Chris) Document the loader, e.g. that you need this for notifications and membership aging Next Call: 11-Nov-09 noon ET Emily Eisbruch, Technology Transfer Analyst Internet2 office: +1-734-352-4996 | mobile +1-734-730-5749 SC09: Visit the Internet2 Booth #1355 November 14-20, 2009 Portland, Oregon Convention Center http://events.internet2.edu/2009/sc09/ |
