Release Notes 

• Faculty Content has arrived. It is a meager start, but this should fuel some discussion. Faculty will see some specialized content on the Teaching and Research tabs.
• Changed the customization icons into text to make their function more obvious. This was suggested by a student focus group.
• Added Scripps College of Communications News RSS feed.
• RSS and Twitter feeds for the Ohio Supercomputer Center have been added.
• Several improvements were made to the Calendar Portlet. All day events and events that span more than one day are now supported.
• A bug in the Calendar Portlet was squashed that was mixing up events multiple calendars on the same page.
• A bug was corrected in the Catmail Email Summary portlet that was preventing some students from seeing their mailbox.
• A bug was fixed in the Email Summary portlets that incorrectly rendered the body of the message as the subject for highly formatted messages.
• Corrected the color of the chrome surrounding RSS feeds.
• Transitioned from the empty OHIO-Employee AD group to the full OHIO-Staff group. Heh, maybe that is why staff couldn't see anything. Okay, well there still is not much to see, but give it time...
• Provided the library staff a private tab to assist their internal communications. This is an example of a feature other departments might enjoy as well. Contact your friendly neighborhood portal administrator if you are interested.
• Provided OIT staff a private tab. At the moment this tab is mostly prototypical and has little content.
• Added a prototype of the Alice account summary to the Library tab for the library folks to review.
• Content on the financials tab was unlocked so it could be moved around.
• Updated the database drivers.
