You can download this release from our downloads section at
http://www.ja-sig.org/products/cas/downloads/index.html .You
can find the complete release notes here. We're targeting a final CAS
3.0.5 release to coincide with the releases of Spring 2.0 and Spring
Webflow 1.0. Please note that 3.0.5 RC1 should be considered stable
APIs and its safe to start working with them in preparation for a 3.0.5
release. Of special concern, the Spring Webflow 1.0 API is different
than the Spring Webflow PR5 API. If you've customized the login flow
please see the default has changed in order to upgrade yours (the
changes are minimal).
