WebCenter Interaction 10gR3 Patch 1

AFAIK, this is the first patchset for ALUI/WCI done by Oracle after the BEA acquisition.

I have to say that the new versioning in line with Oracle Database or Fusion middleware is a bit confusing to old Plumtree and ALUI customers.

In fact, WCI 10gR3 (10.3.0.0.0) is equivalent to ALI 6.5 MP2 (6.5.2). So 10gR3 patch 1 is equivalent to 10.3.0.1.0.

Yesterday, Oracle announced the release of 10.3.0.1 of WebCenter Interaction and Collaboration a patch release on top of the 10gR3 versions of each product. These patch releases contain a set of bug fixes related to each product as well as a new Desktop Integration feature for Collaboration called the Office Task Bar Panel. Each of the bugs that have been fixed are listed and summarized within the Release Notes for each product. Links to each can be found below:

WCI 10.3.0.1 Release Notes

WebCenter Collaboration 10.3.0.1 Release Notes

The patches for all certified operating systems are now available on Metalink (soon to be My Oracle Support).

Log into Metalink and go to the Patches & Updates tab, and do a Simple Search for patch number 8935278 (WCI) or 8935708 (WCC) and you can download the patch.

Follow the instructions in the Upgrade Guide for WCI 10.3.0.1.0 to perform the upgrade. Have fun!

It looks like 10gR3 (6.5) branch is still being maintained by Oracle. Also, based on the SOD documenent from Oracle website, there will be 11g release for WCI to replace the 10gR3 in WebCenter Suite 11gR1 stack. Let's wait and see.
