[WG: I18N & L10N] Sakai OAE 1.4.3 maintenance release now available

[Anthony Whyte]

Sakai Open Academic Environment (OAE) 1.4.3 maintenance release

RELEASE DATE: 30 October 2012
The Sakai Community is pleased to announce the release of the Sakai OAE version 1.4.3.

Sakai OAE is an open-source platform that promotes collaboration and sharing between users and interoperability between systems. It embraces a new vision for academic collaboration informed by the needs of learners, teachers and researchers. OAE provides academic networking capabilities that encourage people to connect and participate actively in communities that span beyond the traditional boundaries of classroom and institution. Powerful content authoring capabilities permit mash-ups and remixable experiences of ideas, connectivity, dialog and media. Enhanced search capabilities aid discovery of people and content. A widget-based architecture simplifies both development and integration with external systems.

WHAT'S NEW

Sakai OAE 1.4.3 is a tightly scoped maintenance release that provides a new Russian translation and updates to the existing French translation of the UI.  It has been produced at the request of piloting institutions in both France and Russia.  Other than the translation and Maven pom version changes, it is indistinguishable from OAE 1.4.2.
