Background

On April 30, 2013 we released a security update for a discovered non-persistent XSS vulnerability targeting all versions of Orchard. For more information on this kind of vulnerability please read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_scripting.

The Windows Azure Web Sites hosting solution is really a fantastic hosting solution. You might already know that you can even push web sites using Git, but lately this feature has been improved so that it can automatically pull an external repo you already own.

Today Orchard can be used with two different databases, i.e. Sql Ce and Sql Server (including Sql Express), which provides enough options not only for simple websites but also enterprise level ones requiring better reliability and performance. In the upcoming release Orchard will also support MySql.

It can be hard to keep up with what's happening around Orchard. Here is a set of resources that you might find interesting either you are a discovering Orchard or you are a pro.

Web API has been released publicly, and obviously Orchard now supports it with great help from Nicholas Mayne who made the first implementation. The question is what does it mean for Orchard to support Web API ? If you don't know what Web API is you can get some more information on the official website.
