Service Packs for VS 2003 and VS 2005
Scott Wiltamuth revealed that VS 2003 SP1 is scheduled for release in April 2006. VS 2005 SP1 is scheduled to be released in the first half of 2006 (a more specific date will be made available once Microsoft has more customer data).
DotNetNuke v3.2/v4.0 Released
Perpetual Motion Interactive Systems Inc. has announced the immediate availability of open-source Web Application Framework, DotNetNuke 3.x (ASP.NET 1.1) and DotNetNuke 4.0 (ASP.NET 2.0). Both versions include AJAX support and Windows/Active Directory authentication, and will be developed in parallel in the near future.
From the press release:
“...the latest DotNetNuke release contains support for AJAX and advanced client-side behaviors which developers can leverage in their modules. In addition, the site navigation information for pages and actions have been abstracted into proper providers, allowing for more extensibility and easier migration to the SiteMap capabilities of ASP.NET 2.0.“
“Native Windows Authentication and Active Directory support enables DotNetNuke to interface with the users and groups defined within an Intranet environment, providing authentication and authorization services linked to a centralized security control point.”
