Unable to view System Requirements for ClearCase 8.0.x - clearcase

I am trying to view the IBM Rational Clearcase 8.0.x System Requirements on google. But i could found the below links but none of them are having the details for version -8.0.x.
[1] https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/589803
[2] https://www.ibm.com/software/reports/compatibility/clarity/index.html
From the [2] link i have searched in the all the categories however in all the details available only for 9.0 version. So please guide me to view for 8.0.x version.

For older products like ClearCase 8, it is better to refer to the release notes page.
The ClearCase 8 manual also has a "Hardware and software requirements" page fairly complete.
But the new "Software Product Compatibility Reports" only references ClearCase 9.x indeed.

Agile Toolkit 4.3

Yesterday I downloaded the new Agile Toolkit 4.3 and found that the licensing and subscription model has been changed. Additionally a "developer sandbox" has been included which launches when the toolkit is first run and requires me to login with a registered account.
While I understand the reasons for these changes, and I'm fully supportive, the sandbox appears to be unnecessarily restrictive. However, there seems to be no easy way to bypass the sandbox, and logging in to the sandbox in a vanilla install of 4.3 leads to a screen where you are forced to choose between a pre-canned Admin or Frontend site.
The key reason for me to upgrade from 4.2 to 4.3 is the introduction of an Application class to support RESTful services. I have no need for either an Admin, nor a Frontend web user interface and yet the sandbox does not provide this option.
Is it possible to bypass the sandbox setup process and, if so, how would one go about doing this?
Looking at this in a different way, the folder structure of the ATK4 library seems to have changed under 4.3. Version 4.2 included documentation on the folder structure and how a developer should setup their application in relation to that structure. I have been unable to find corresponding documentation for Version 4.3 which would give clear guidance on how to build an application around the toolkit without relying on the included sandbox.
Hi Tim (i'm author of Agile Toolkit)
Agile Toolkit framework will continue to be available on github. You will find link to github on the bottom of the page, simply select branch 4.3. All of the documentation still applies and you can use the framework (you still need to respect the license). Github does not contain "admin" or "frontend", it is included for the convenience of new users.
The licensing terms has slightly changed, Agile Toolkit has always used AGPL and Commercial licensing. The reason to introduce the sandbox is because developers were not respecting the license terms. I also wanted to give easier ability to deploy projects for new PHP developers and for security it can only be done through sandbox.
Here is a blog-post outlining all of the changes: http://www4.agiletoolkit.org/blog/rebooting-agile-toolkit
The folder structure have changed, but it must still be compatible with the 4.2 branch. I've adopted the usage of "public" folders for improved security, but please do look into PathFinder documentation on how to customise folder structure.

Using Help&Manual with ClearCase

I’m trying to connect a Help&Manual project to ClearCase. Clicking the “Check Version Control System” button reveals
The Version Control Provider DLL connection was successful. The internal version of "ClearCase" is 1.1.
(Written in a reassuringly green color.) However, I tried several ways, and none succeeded: New project, existing project, in dynamic and in snapshot view, checked in and not, checked out and not.
I guess the answer is “does not work”. Could somebody please confirm? Or any other experiences?
That could be heavely dependent on the version of the ClearCase you are using.
A document like "About SCC compliance and Rational ClearCase" only mentions ClearCase 7.0 and 7.0.1, for instance.
If it works with Visual Studio but not with HelpAndManual, the workaround would be to manage the files in a snapshot view through the ClearCase interface directly, instead of through this SCCAPI integration.

Umbraco: my new published package is missing on Developer section

I made new Package for Umbraco, then I publish it on http://our.umbraco.org/projects.
Now the package is online. It is available to community.
But I can't find it inside an Umbraco installation.
If I go in Umbraco backoffice, "Developer", "Packages", "Umbraco package repositories", I can't find it.
Why?
Maybe I will wait some days? The package is online since August 23, 2013.
Thanks
I wrote on Umbraco Forum as for suggestion of #ProNotion, then I received answer.
Hi Flavio
That's because packages needs to have 15 karma points before they're
available in the backoffice. It's that way to ensure that the packages
you can install directly from within Umbraco are high quality that
have been approved by the community.
Cheers, Jan

I think the package has to have a certain number of votes before it makes it into the Umbraco package repository. I don't believe that the exact rules are officially published anywhere so can't direct you somewhere for official confirmation other than to suggest you ask on the forums or Twitter with the hash tag #umbraco.

Selenium2 WebDriver release notes

I've been looking around to find the release notes for the latest releases but I couldn't find it. Anyone have a link?
Different parts of the project have different logs of the changes between versions. The most comprehensive changelog for the project is the one for the Java language bindings, and it can be found here. Other portions of the project may have their own changelogs, but they are usually limited to changes only within that part of the project. Examples include the changelogs for the .NET language bindings and for the IE driver standalone server.

Best practices around Silverlight 2 GDR 1?

I noticed a few tweets this morning about a new version of Silverlight having been released - Silverlight 2 GDR 1 (2.0.40115.0). Details of what/why/should I target it/is it backward compatible/etc seem incredibly thin on the ground.
Hitting this Silverlight page on Microsoft.com tells me my version (RTW) is now out of date and I should upgrade to GDR 1. But hitting silverlight.net - there's no mention of it, the Silverlight elements on the page don't tell me my version is out of date and the Getting Started page still links to RTW tools.
This kinda leads me to presume that if you upgrade your dev tools to target the GDR release, then your users will need to upgrade their Silverlight install also?
A few details on what's in GDR can be found in the release notes - but it sure would be nice if Microsoft would clarify it's purpose and suggested adoption. Anyone got any more details?
Tim Heuer explains all: http://timheuer.com/blog/archive/2009/02/19/silverlight-2-gets-minor-update-gdr1.aspx
It seems to be only bug fixing.
So if your applications (so your users) are not concerned by those bugs, it is not mandatory to update your plugin for the moment.
