Weekly Podcast 2/26/2012
- Sébastien: Assign role & close comments activities in workflow. Bug fixes. WebDeploy fixes. TekPub video recorded. Event bus performance fixes. Removed TransactionScope and replaced with nHibernate's. Added require new transaction method. Will break custom implementations of ITransactionManager. This will allow async to work and will allow auto flush mode from nHib. Need to know what happens with TransactionScope.Suppress (Giscard investigates and will report).
- Roles and permissions commands http://orchard.codeplex.com/discussio... will be in core.
- Default tenant configuration: http://weblogs.asp.net/bleroy/archive...
- IBackgroundtask is no longer an event handler: for perf. Technically breaking, but should not be an issue.
- Common data for tenants or cross-tenant data using WebAPI? Will keep that in mind when integrating content deployments.
- OWIN: we have lots of dependencies on System.Web, which is currently a killing blow.
- Admin placement: need to improve on that story.
- Demo: Bertrand shows his new The Tree admin navigation feature.
- Triage: still over 100 proposed bugs.

This type of Orchard Layer Rule is perfect when you want a widget to be displayed only when a page, blog post, product, or other content type is displayed in your Orchard website. This new widget layer rule is available in the Orchard 1.x source code now, or you can download it as part of Orchard 1.7 when it is released. Here is a quick Orchard CMS Tutorial on how it works.
