+## New Calendar Application
 
+The Calendar application has been completely redesigned and replaced in Liferay
+Portal 6.2. It is now a plugin, which means you can undeploy it if you aren't
+using the calendar. It now has a much more modern UI, can display multiple,
+sharable calendars, and supports resource reservations. 
+
+![The new calendar's improved UI lets you drag events around to change them.](../../images/new-calendar-event-invitations.png)
+
+In addition to this, calendars can be shared via RSS feeds, so you can make a
+calendar available to users outside of Liferay Portal. 
+
+## Platform Improvements
+
+In addition to these visible improvements, Liferay Portal 6.2 has received
+numerous improvements under the hood. The first version of our OSGi container is
+available in Liferay Portal 6.2. Users can deploy OSGi bundles into Liferay, and
+develop plugins as OSGi bundles. 
+
+Liferay Portal 6.2 also serves as an OAuth server, allowing you to use your
+Liferay Portal installation as an authentication service to enable your users to
+sign in to multiple websites with their credentials from your site. 
+
+For larger deployments, Liferay Portal 6.2 introduces portlet sandboxing. This
+lets you decide to run certain applications in their own JVMs. You can use this
+feature to make your portal more resilient: if you have some unstable
+applications, place them in their own JVMs, and if they crash, they can't bring
+down your portal. 
+
+Liferay Portal 6.2 also includes integration hooks for real-time analytics
+software. This lets you easily profile your server while it's running in order
+to debug issues you may be having with a custom application. 
+
+Liferay Portal 6.2 is a major release that incorporates many enhancements. These
+enhancements make upgrading your site to the latest release a worthwhile
+endeavor, and we highly recommend that you upgrade your site to this latest
+release.
