* Use TinyMCE

<%= Html.RegisterTinymceScripts(TinyMCETheme.advanced,TinyMCESkin.@default,@"plugins : ""safari,spellchecker,pagebreak,style,layer,table,save,advhr,advimage,advlink,emotions,iespell,inlinepopups,insertdatetime,preview,media,searchreplace,print,contextmenu,paste,directionality,fullscreen,noneditable,visualchars,nonbreaking,xhtmlxtras,template,imagemanager,filemanager"",
// Theme options

theme_advanced_buttons2 : ""cut,copy,paste,pastetext,pasteword,|,search,replace,|,bullist,numlist,|,outdent,indent,blockquote,|,undo,redo,|,link,unlink,anchor,image,cleanup,help,code,|,insertdate,inserttime,preview,|,forecolor,backcolor"",
theme_advanced_buttons3 : ""tablecontrols,|,hr,removeformat,visualaid,|,sub,sup,|,charmap,emotions,iespell,media,advhr,|,print,|,ltr,rtl,|,fullscreen"",
theme_advanced_buttons4 : ""insertlayer,moveforward,movebackward,absolute,|,styleprops,spellchecker,|,cite,abbr,acronym,del,ins,attribs,|,visualchars,nonbreaking,template,blockquote,pagebreak,|,insertfile,insertimage"",
theme_advanced_toolbar_location : ""top"",
theme_advanced_toolbar_align : ""left"",
theme_advanced_statusbar_location : ""bottom"",
theme_advanced_resizing : true")%>

b) Use TinyMCE control
<%= Html.Tinymce("tinymce1","tinymce value",null) %>

* Use FCKEditor

a) Register FCKEditor

<%= Html.RegisterFCKeditorScripts() %>

b) Use FCKEditor Control

<%= Html.FCKeditor("FCKEditor1","FCKEditor value",null) %>

* Use CKEditor

a) Register CKEditor

<%= Html.RegisterCKeditorScripts() %>

<%= Html.CKEditor("CKEditor1","CKEditor value",null) %>

11) Add friend display name for content folder. See: http://forum.kooboo.com/...t-folders.aspx#post1303

12) Add possibility to disable versioning function.
In the web.config, under appSettings, find <add key="enableVersioning" value="true"/>. Turn it off will increase the system performance in case that you do not need the versioning function.

13) Installer page will hide SQlite version automatically when installing on X64 machine.

By default, we include the X86 version of SQLite, if user want to use SQLite in the X64 system, they need to implement and compile the source code

14) Custom module ID and prefix

Previously, a module in a page will be rendered as "km1234" in the URL, this is to make sure that each module can has its own set of URL. Right now, it is possible to define prefix in the web.config
and define a custom ID when adding a module to a page.

This can have benefits on SEO and other things. See: http://forum.kooboo.com/...the-km1234-segment.aspx



Changes.

1) "Include Items". If you check "Include Items" when creating a folder based on a parent folder. New added content in the parent folder will be automatically included in sub folder.

2) Subdirectory 'Javascript' of the Kooboo is renamed to 'Kooboojs'.

This is to avoid namig conflict. JS files in this folder will be included in Kooboo module as well so that module can use the JS files from Kooboo and those Html editors.

3) Update Lucene.net to version 2.9.1.2. See:http://forum.kooboo.com/yaf_postst345_LuceneNetdll.aspx


Bugs fixed:

* When generating UserKey,also replace '-' with '_'.

* Fix the bug of wrong replacing capital letter with '-'.

* Deletion bug, see: http://forum.kooboo.com/...-child-application.aspx

* Localization bug, see: http://forum.kooboo.com/...localizing-element.aspx

* Remove the following files:default_install.aspx and default_runtime.aspx. These two files often mislead users. Those two are only used during installation.

* Bug when using ResolveThemeFileUrl in Module. See: http://forum.kooboo.com/...ts-supports-themes.aspx

* Rename application name error during site package importation.
See: http://forum.kooboo.com/...mporting-a-package.aspx

* Add [ValidateInput(false)] to ValidatorController.

* When using domain and URL path for website, it may generate wrong page URL. See: http://forum.kooboo.com/...localized-solution.aspx

* Fix wrong date format when generating export SQL script. Now we use ISO8601, datetime will be formated as '2009-10-22T16:04:24.00'

* Bug of a folder inherit from itself. This made it impossible to delete the folder.

* By default, Htmleditor did not trigger form validation and also the paste function wasn't working on right click. Fixed now.

* Fixed the limited size of files in binary schema.

If you have x64.dll, you may want to use the source code version, compile and install it manually. We do not provide it for X64 right now.

It is a standard MVC, should not be difficult to install manually.

I agree with dgt, and was thinking about this recently.
I think you should set up some kind of roadmap and / or at the very least be more active on twitter so people that are interested in your progress can follow it and get a grip on approx what you are planning / working on.

I think your userbase would benefit greatly from this.

Can I add a third voice to the choir? A development roadmap or indication of what is progressing would be very much appreciated.
