Orchard vulnerability patched - please upgrade to 0.5.145
This morning, we discovered a vulnerability in Orchard 0.5. We just released 0.5.145 that replaces 0.5.144 and that fixes that vulnerability. Please upgrade any Orchard instance you may have exposed to the Internet. http://orchard.codeplex.com/releases/view/45076 Ugrading can be done by extracting the new archive over the old one (make sure that the folders coincide, for example, the Orchard.Web.0.5.145.zip archive contains an Orchard folder that really is the root of the web site). Before you do that though, make sure to back-up your site, in particular the contents of the App_data and Media folders, as well as any changes you may have done in Modules or Themes. WebPI packages have also been updated. If you are enlisted into the source, the fix is also be available now by synchronizing your enlistment to the latest from default or dev. We are sorry about the inconvenience.Building my new blog with Orchard – Part 1

Any module can now depend on Orchard.SiteMap and push feeds into the sitemap, all they have to-do is create a provider…Creating a sitemap module for Orchard
“A site map (or sitemap) is a list of pages of a web site accessible to crawlers or users”
I recently read a excellent article by Jeff Atwood about the importance of having a sitemap… Currently Orchard has no sitemap but with the great developer platform for creating modules, adding sitemap support is dead simple!
