Hi All,

I am pleased to announce, on behalf of the community, the release of Sakai 
CLE 2.9.0 (thanks to many of you directly). 

I've posted the general announcement of the release of Sakai CLE 2.9.0 to 
the announcements, production, and pedagogy lists. This is a repeat of 
that announcement plus a few more technical details for our qa and 
development communities. 

For 2.9.0 download links please see - 
http://source.sakaiproject.org/release/2.9.0/

For source code - 
https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/sakai/tags/sakai-2.9.0/

Please keep checking the release notes - 
https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/DOC/Sakai+CLE+2.9+release+notes 
. The Sys Admin guide has not yet been updated. Over the next several 
weeks we plan to update this guide and add information on performance 
tuning through caching and database settings, and how to host uploaded 
content material on a separate domain, a new configuration option. We also 
anticipate more load testing over the next month which may lead to 
additional performance tuning suggestions.

As you probably already know, we have also started planning the 2.9.1 
release, targeted for December, and the 2.9.2 release targeted for Spring 
2013. 

General Release Announcement
-----------------------------------------------------
The Sakai CLE 2.9.0 builds on previous releases by refining and 
stabilizing the 2.x feature set. It offers dozens of new features and 
improvements to key areas like accessibility, internationalization, 
performance, and security.

Sakai CLE 2.9.0 sports a new updated interface with a beautiful new skin 
and improved efficiency for users, for example by reducing the number of 
mouse clicks on common operations in the portal. The Lessons tool, 
formerly known as Lesson Builder, is now a core Sakai tool. Many new 
features have been added and detailed release notes are posted at 
https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/DOC/Sakai+CLE+2.9+release+notes

Thanks to all in the worldwide community for your contribution to the 
development, testing, and documenting of the release. 


Best Regards,
Neal
