UNICORE (Uniform Interface to Computing Resources) offers a ready-to-run Grid system including client and server software. UNICORE makes distributed computing and data resources available in a seamless and secure way in intranets and the internet.
The latest release (version 6.3.0) of the UNICORE core servers is available and can be downloaded from http://www.unicore.eu/download
Some of the highlights are: a new, faster gateway implementation, better support for MPI and other parallel environments, and improved storage functionality.
UNICORE's graphical client suite is now based on Eclipse 3.5 (aka Galileo). It is available for download from https://sourceforge.net/projects/unicore/files/. Due to the newly developed welcome screen, this is the most user-friendly version of the Rich Client so far. For additional information about this release, please see the changelog.
The International Winter School on Grid Computing 2010 (IWSGC'10), a unique online educational opportunity, will take place from March 1 to April 2, 2010. Application is open now.

During the last few weeks, many parts of the UNICORE documentation on http://www.unicore.eu/documentation have been updated and the documentation section itself has been restructured to make the video tutorials and documentation Wiki more visible. Among other things, there is now a new URC video about creating workflows with for loops, and the FAQ has been enhanced.
