Volume 2 Edition 8 September 2010
mojoPortal 2.3.5.3
mojoPortal 2.3.5.2 was released on Friday September 17, 2010 and then a follow up version 2.3.5.3 was made available on Monday September 20, 2010.
This is an important security update and everyone should upgrade to version 2.3.5.3 as soon as possible to ensure the security of your sites. Even if you already upgraded to version 2.3.5.2, you can still get additional security benefit from the new Security Advisor feature in version 2.3.5.3, it can detect issues to help make sure your site is configured securely.
There were 2 vulnerabilities specific to mojoPortal and a 3rd vulnerability that is not specific to mojoPortal but affects all ASP.NET sites.
For full details, see the release notes for mojoPortal 2.3.5.2 and mojoPortal 2.3.5.3.
There are also a number of non-security related bug fixes in this release that I know some of you have been waiting for. These are listed in the release notes for 2.3.5.2 but are also fixed in 2.3.5.3.
User Group Meeting
Please join us next Tuesday September 28, 2010 at 8PM for our mojoPortal User Group Meeting. David Dean will be presenting on doing validation with jQuery.
I'll also be giving short preview demo of my next add on product, In Site Analytics Pro. A tool that harvests your data from google analytics into the database and provides reports and charts right in your site.
I'm still working on this feature but hope to have the first version on sale within the next few weeks.
Get Involved in the User Group
We've had some good online user group meetings and they seem to be more fun each time. I've created a page about our user group on the mojoPortal site, and we usually announce it in the blog as well as in the developer forum.
We'd love to get more of you involved with the meetings both as participants and presenters. If you've done something cool with mojoPortal or have a topic you think might be of interest to other mojoPortal users please let us know, we are looking for presenters. Eventually we hope to also have local user group meetings, but for now, a good way to get started is to present at local .NET User Groups which already exist in most major cities. Maybe a good way to start is to present at our online meeting where we already have an audience interested in mojoPortal, it can serve as practice and then you could give the same presentation in your local community and establish yourself as a local mojoPortal expert.
Some of the previous meetings were recorded and can be watched on Yamisee.
Special thanks to David Dean of Yamisee, who makes our monthly online meeting possible.
We are continually trying to learn from our newsletter process, if any of you notice this message landing in your spam folder please do let me know.
Warm Regards,
