Commons 2.1.0

I’ve just released version 2.1.0 of the CUNY Academic Commons.

Version 2.1.0 is one of our twice-yearly “feature releases”, and includes the following improvements:

Redesign of the top-level Events interface
Overhaul and consolidation of the Commons’s “About” page and subpages
Overhaul of the “Activity” page to replace the old “News” page, with features pulled from “My Commons”
Redesign and simplification of the ‘Create’ page

With these changes, we bring the redesign first launched in version 2.0.0 to more areas of the Commons.

In addition, Commons 2.1.0 is a major-release update for plugins and themes.
