MWF 1.3 Deployments

• UCLA deployed MWF 1.3 on August 17
  • Upgrade itself went smoothly and on schedule
  • Several sites found with display issues caused by Forms API
    • .NET is the predominate purveyor of this issue due to Web Forms API
    • It is not required under Microsoft best practice to wrap the entire page contents in a form
    • HTML 5 specification explicitly states this is not best practice in HTML
    • Accessibility tools don't place nice with a full-page form
    • Still, this sort of incompatibility during upgrades is sought to be avoided
  • No other major issues reported
• UC Berkeley
• UC Santa Barbara
• Other campuses?
