Earlier this week open source vendor Red Hat finally released the new version 2.6 of JBoss Portal. I've previously commented on the usability improvements and the developer release. What's new since the last dot-release is a much hyped integration with Google Gadgets, similar to recent moves by software giant IBM. As readers of the updated review in the Enterprise Portals Report know, the new JBoss Portal release still lacks several key features -- such as search, collaboration, and integration -- that can be found in other competing offerings, including other open source platforms. If you're located outside the USA, you should also note that the product is internationalized, but not localized. Finally: If you're interested in SOA, you'll find that the product runs exclusively on the JBoss Application Server.
