V.129 Release Notes

This release introduces the People Data API Integration with the UCalgary Profiles System. This integration automatically unpublishes profiles for employees without active employment status and locks certain fields (Name and Email) to ensure consistency with PeopleSoft data. Employees will now be able to update their preferred name and email via PeopleSoft, and profiles will remain unpublished until manually published by the user. This release also updates usernames to match preferred names, providing more accurate and up-to-date profile information for the UCalgary community. For more detailed information about this feature and the implementation process, please refer to the release note here.
