Summer release schedule for the CUNY Academic Commons

During the academic year, the Commons puts out maintenance releases on the 1st, 11th, and 21st of every month. This summer, when site use is decreased and when we have a number of major features in active development, we will be reducing our release rate to once per month. That means that the next release after today’s 1.4.30 will be 1.4.31, on July 11.

Commons 1.4.30

I’ve just released version 1.4.30 of the CUNY Academic Commons. This is a maintenance release with the following notable fixes:
