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 Core 3.0, Admin Theme in Orchard Core: The Developer cheat sheet - This week in Orchard (19/06/2026)

We are thrilled to announce that Orchard Core 3.0 is out! Check out this post to know everything about the latest release of Orchard Core. In the coming weeks, we will explore the latest features and additions in Orchard Core 3.0!

New documentation by contributor Quoc Bao An Nguyen covers how to work with the Admin Theme in Orchard Core for building consistent, maintainable custom admin interfaces.

Thanks to contributor ghazi1567, ReCaptcha settings can now be configured via ConfigureReCaptchaSettings(), allowing keys to be pulled from appsettings.json rather than only from the admin dashboard.

A new demo by Mike Alhayek showcases how the AI Suite can route chat sessions to live human agents (e.g., via Genesys), enabling hybrid AI-and-human support workflows.

We attended Digitalk's BeerUP Tech Fest, where we networked and gave a talk on .NET web architecture in regulated environments!
