[Using Sakai] Profile2 v1.2 released

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi everyone,

I am very pleased to announce the 1.2 release of Profile2 for Sakai.

Profile2 is a complete re-development of the existing Profile tool in  
Sakai and brings social networking to Sakai2. A Facebook-like  
interface for editing your profile, comprehensive privacy controls,  
post status updates including Twitter integration, searching for  
people with common interests and adding them as a connection, are what  
Profile2 is all about.

Over 41 fixes and new features are incorporated into this release  
including:

* full EntityBroker support for all Profile, Privacy, Preference and  
Status entities (including a business card style entity)
* extensive control over the configuration
* full internationalisation support
* improved conversion from the original Profile, including image urls
* the ability to lock down profiles and privacy settings
* improved AJAX processing
* improved performance
* a full set of API Services for other tool or system integrations
* and continued support for 2.4.x, 2.5.x and the 2.6.x releases of  
Sakai.

More information, including screenshots and installation instructions  
for all three Sakai flavours are available on Confluence here:
