Background Tasks Bulk Actions, Lombiq's MSBuild Targets improvements - This week in Orchard (09/10/2026)

Tired of enabling or disabling background tasks one by one? The Background Tasks admin list now has bulk actions, just like the Features list.

Ever changed an email/SMS or any other setting in the admin and wondered why the tenant had to reload for it to take effect? A new IOptionsMonitor refresh pipeline updates site settings-backed options without a shell release.

And how much of your module's project file is the same boilerplate as every other module's? Our custom MSBuild SDKs for Orchard Core handle references and package management for you.

This week's changes come from Mike Alhayek, with a demo by Sára El-Saig.
