Earlier this week JBoss announced an early snapshot release of JBoss Portal 2.6, targeted to developers. As previously mentioned there will be quite a few user interface enhancements to the upcoming version including personal dashboards, drag-n-drop windows, and a reworked portlet UI. JBoss seems on target for a Q1 2007 release, and with such significant changes it is sensible to run a long beta. Missing from the available documentation is anything on how to upgrade. In a related and provocative posting, Chris Shipley, maker of the annual DEMO conference, asked "Is Beta the new Vapor?" This seems relevant to ask at a time when beta releases are increasingly being adopted by buyers. Remember: A beta release is not the same quality as a final release.
