Orchard Harvest Community Conference
Hello everyone! I would like to invite you to our Orchard Harvest Conference, which is the annual gathering of the Orchard Core community. For those who may be new to Orchard Core, Microsoft Orchard is an open-source content management system (CMS) and web application framework that allows developers to build websites, blogs, and web applications. It provides a modular and extensible architecture that allows developers to create custom features, themes, and modules to suit their specific needs. The Orchard Harvest conference will be in https://www.hotelbotanique.com/meetings/magnolia/ in Prague on the 11th and 12th of November. It's going to be a great opportunity to share knowledge, talk about development plans and ideas, and foremost, meet the rest of the worldwide community. In addition to the presentations and networking opportunities, Orchard Harvest provides a unique platform for developers, designers, and users to connect, learn, and contribute to the ongoing development of Orchard Core. You can get your ticket and find more details here: https://orchardcore.net/harvest We can't wait to see you at Orchard Harvest!
Orchard Core 2.0 released
Orchard Core is an open-source, modular, multi-tenant, and community-driven application framework built with ASP.NET Core, and a content management system (CMS) built on top of that framework. Its vision is to create shared components for building ASP.NET applications and specific applications that leverage these components to meet the needs of end-users, content administrators, and developers. The community recently released the second major version of Orchard Core with several new features and additions! This release is packed with performance improvements, bug fixes, and a variety of enhancements that make it our best version yet. Whether you're building a new project or maintaining an existing one, Orchard Core 2.0 brings stability and power to your fingertips. In this release, there's a new "Azure AI Search" module, designed to empower you in the administration of Azure AI Search indices. When enabled with the "Search" module, it facilitates frontend full-text search capabilities through Azure AI Search. The Microsoft Azure Media and Amazon S3 Media modules have new features for replacing the default PhysicalFileSystemCache of ImageSharp that stores resized images in the local App_Data folder. Instead, you can now use Azure Blob Storage with the Azure Media ImageSharp Image Cache feature (that utilizes AzureBlobStorageImageCache), and AWS S3 with the Amazon Media ImageSharp Image Cache feature (that utilizes AWSS3StorageCache). Depending on your use case, this can provide various advantages. And we have a lot more to cover! Here are all the details of the release: https://docs.orchardcore.net/en/latest/releases/2.0.0/. Orchard Core is available as a NuGet package which you can easily add to your ASP.NET Core solution.

The community recently released the latest 1.7 version of Orchard Core with several new features and additions! There's a new SMS and SMS Notifications module that provides a way to send SMS messages and notifications to users using SMS services. And by utilizing the new two-factor SMS Method feature, you can also transmit a two-factor authentication code to the user via SMS. And yes, this means that starting with version 1.7, Orchard Core is shipped with everything you need to secure your app with two-factor authentication. The Lucene and Elasticsearch features are capable of searching within PDF files because PDF files are indexed by default. As an enhancement, we added a new feature called Media Indexing which extends the media indexing capability to also encompass searching within files with the following extensions: .txt, .md, .docx, and .pptx.
