Apache Jetspeed

The portal is now fully customizable by using the
Web GUI. Either XML file or SQL database backends
may be used for portal configuration and user
profiles. LDAP integration was added for user
authentication. Many standard portlets were added
for more out-of-the-box functionality. The package
is bundled with several default skins.

Messaging is now 90% complete. IMAP/POP3/NNTP and SMTP support is now fully implemented. MIME and attachments work 100%. Added more screenshots to homepage.

Much improved GUI, better IMAP support, and misc code tweaks.

Implemented more features to make JetSpeed more usable as a mail client (deleting, forwarding) as well as fixed many implementation bugs. The API has been improved to support Portal development.

JetSpeed 1.0 b2 introduces a new API named Portlets. A Portlet is similar in design to a Servlet/Applet except it runs on the server.
