Sakai 2.6.1 maintenance release
Release Date: 15 October 2009
The Sakai 2.6.1 maintenance release provides a set of bug fixes, language/locale updates and performance enhancements that improve upon the Sakai 2.6.0 release. Over 200 issues have been addressed by 2.6.1. Roughly half involve bug fixes while the remainder involve textual updates to language translation property bundles. In particular, important fixes have been applied to the assignment, chat, portfolio, Tests & Quizzes and site-manage modules while updates for Catalan, French, Russian, Spanish and Swedish translations have also been provided.
Sakai 2.6.1 utilizes core service updates provided in the recent Sakai kernel (K1) 1.0.12 maintenance release. Portfolio users in particular will appreciate a performance enhancement made to the kernel's ContentHostingService that reduces portfolio assembly times.

Updated 2.6.0 to 2.6.1 conversion scripts (19 October 2009)
Matt Jones of the University of Michigan reports that the original 2.6.0 to 2.6.1 conversion script that operates on assignment_content table "is inefficient, potentially locks tables and performs too many scans, especially if there are hundreds of thousands of rows." Matt has revised both the MySQL and Oracle conversion scripts to improve their performance. See SAK-17219 and SAK-16548 for more details.
