Engage: Publish 5.2 Released!

It’s been a few months coming but Engage: Publish 5.2 released last week while I was off in Kansas racing.

There are a lot of new features/enhancements and bug fixes in the release. You can read a forum thread where I discuss a lot of the new functionality and changes here. You can also check out the release notes in our Wiki.

Some of the major features/enhancements are.

• Ability to change/define the author for an article, selecting a different DNN user than the person making changes to the article
• Ability to sort by start/end dates, allowing for publishing in the future or past.
• AjaxControlToolkit 20229 is now packaged with the module
• Article Comment Notification
• Better XHTML validation for the Publish html code.
• MetaWeblog API Integration to allow publishing of articles from desktop applications such as Microsoft Word or Windows Live Writer
• Performance Improvements, an overhaul of caching in Publish has minimized database hits to repeat requests of content, drasticly improving performance within the module.
• Check out the module and let me know what you think!
