DotNetNuke Blog module 4.1.1 is the current blogging engine that is in use on this site. This module is currently being upgraded to new version 5.0.0, but its development speed is not progressing that much.

So, something needs to be done on that.

This 4.1.1 version has some issue and limitations, but it is Open Source Software we can also do something about those.

This far we have fixed

Blog post count not being correctly counted Fixed socialbookmark image issue when using sub sites When viewing blog entry, Written by –entry was empty and not showing full name for blog entry writer

As time passes, it is time again to release a new version of this popular tool.

Biggest change this time is internal: TFS Bug Item Synchronizer is getting new internal database.

Previous one had couple of issues that especially big installations are suffering from. These are things like

Fragmentation. As time goes by, database gets fragmented to to defragment database file takes time. On some cases this was taking 30-60 minutes which is quite a lot when it is done at DBService startup. File size. Database file size was on some cases growing quite a lot, especially if defragmentation was not run on regular intervals. So to fix these, we had to change internal database and it actually gives some more possibilities as well, but those are coming a bit later on.

Upgrade from version 2.4 and below old database to new need to be done extra carefully, all needed steps are already documented in the Release Notes...

OffRoad 2.8 is now available.

This release has following changes:

• Internal enhancements
• Test Run parameter handling
• Temporary Test Set to select test cases from multiple test sets for execution
• Capability to select which defects are uploaded back to server
• External integration enhancements
• Custom filter for downloading defects
• Performance Improvements

OffRoad 2.8 can be purchased through http://www.juvander.fi/Purchase.aspx.

Our first community site to share information and provide forum for our users was launched back in June 2006 and was built using Telligent Community Server –product. License cost for initial purchase was 449 USD.

On 2009 it was already seen that the current CS2007 version was outdated and so there was an request sent to Telligent for an upgrade offer. Now the price was up to 3500 USD and decision was made to still continue with current version.

End of 2011 as new browsers and browser versions have been appearing CS2007 was no longer supporting these, only real supported browser was Internet Explorer which was not really enough for us.

Telligent was totally out of the picture, their price for the upgraded site was now up to 50000 GBP which was totally unacceptable for us!

What we had on our Community Server were Blogs, Forums and Downloads in use. Our own http://www.juvander.fi was running own custom developed ASP.NET pages, plan was to migrate all of these into one product.
