uPortal 4.3.0

Version 4.3.0 is the newest minor release of uPortal, and it is the product of a significant amount of brand new work. A total of 122 JIRA issues resolved or closed for this release, including 96 that are not a part of the 4.2.2 (or any other) release. If I had to sum up this release in one word, it would be this one: "Polish." uPortal 4.3.0 brings a large number of performance enhancements, improvements to user experience, and bug fixes. uPortal 4.3 also includes support for Java 8 & Tomcat 8.
