Congratulations and Thanks to entire Liferay team. Awesome Work.

This zip file works and I could run Liferay without any issues.

Ran it and at the outset, it looks great. Checked couple of things randomly. Workflow doesn't seem to work. When I try to create new workflow under Workflow Portlet via control panel, it just throws an error. Nothing has been emitted in Tomcat log.

I know it may take some time to stabiliize but just wanted to let the team know it.

Again.. hats off.

Cheers,

Raj
Hi Raj - We've found that there can be some issues between workflow and the 7cogs sample data that we shipped 6.0 with (see http://issues.liferay.com/browse/LPS-11273) - if you start a clean bundle with just Kaleo-workflow deployed it should work without any problem.
Finally emoticon
Thanks that you keep working.
Hopefully the release circles will be a little shorter for future releases! emoticon

Cheers
Congrats for the 6 GA release!
We eagerly await the EE version.
Hearlty congrats Brian and your team,
You are helping us to live our Life.
Thanks guys.

Just to let you know, the link to Liferay 6.0.3 Javadocs in the additional files page for liferay 6.0.3 (http://www.liferay.com/downloads/liferay-portal/additional-files) is broken.
Thanks Brian and Liferay team. This release is a big step forward in Java portal world
There is no liferay-portal-dependencies-6.0.3.zip file. It may not have changed from 6.0.2, but a new zip should be created that has the same version #, please!
Hi,

Thanks for the good work. I noticed that the reports-console-portlet which was working in release 6rc2 has stopped working in 6.0.3GA. I have already posted details about the error in another thread -http://www.liferay.com/community/forums/-/message_boards/message/4450096
Liferay 6 looks nice but I have the feeling the upgrade procedure hasn't been tested very well. I tried, with my colleague Hubert, to upgrade from 5.2.3 -> 6.0.3 without success. Hope the upgrade procedure will be updated asap.

I found this "Stack overflow at line 117"
in myaccount tab of the control panel
Due to there not be a dependencies zip, we are unable to install liferay-portal.war, since the portal-service.jar files has changed, so we receive the following stack trace:

Please upload a dependencies.zip file!!

Pulling the portal-service.jar out of one of the bundled zips (I chose tomcat) is a workaround for me, but please upload the dependency zip (isn't this an automated process?)
Just uploaded the dependencies zip. Missed that one somehow. Here it is:
