Orchard Harvest goes Online, Content Lock feature prevents editing conflicts - This week in Orchard (21/08/2026)

Worried about a licensing surprise breaking your CI builds, or being forced to buy a license just to build Orchard Core from source? That's exactly the risk ImageSharp v4's new license enforcement created, so Orchard Core replaced it with NetVips as the default image engine, which is faster too.

YesSql 6.0 has been released, and Orchard Core has been updated to pick up the latest provider and API improvements. The major version brought a few breaking API changes, so this also adapts the affected source.

Need to stop two editors from overwriting each other's changes? A new Content Lock feature locks a content item while someone else is editing it.

Important update about Orchard Harvest! Due to various factors, we had to make the difficult decision to move the event online.

This week's changes come from Jasmin Savard, Sébastien Ros, Zoltán Lehóczky, and Hisham Bin Ateya.

Orchard Dojo opened!

What Orchard missed till now is a place where the various pieces of knowledge related to it are stored in a structured, accessible form. We aim to provide a solution for this with Orchard Dojo: a website dedicated to learning Orchard. On Orchard Dojo we want to gather all the information related to Orchard in a well-structured and well-presented form so nothing worth while gets lost. We also created the Orchard Dojo Library, a nice big package of various Orchard goodies, including development guidelines and best practices, a wiki, Visual Studio code snippets and more. Also with Orchard Dojo we'd like to bring our Orchard trainings what we've done through Orchard Hungary to the next level. We really hope you'll learn a lot on Orchard Dojo!
