Orchard Core updatesClamAV Antivirus ScannerThis change by Mike Alhayek introduces a new ClamAV antivirus integration for Orchard Core, scanning files with ClamAV before storage. It adds a new OrchardCore.Antivirus module, an Aspire host project, and related configuration and documentation. The new OrchardCore.AspireHost project orchestrates the ClamAV container via Aspire, including resource definition (ClamAVResource), program setup (Program.cs), and related configuration files, so ClamAV can run alongside Orchard Core in a distributed environment.

It's not all about hyperscalers: You can run your Orchard Core app in the cloud even if not using Azure, AWS, or some other giant like these. Let's see how we can do this with Exoscale!

Orchard Core updatesNew Allow Remember Me Login SettingThis feature by Mike Alhayek adds a new AllowRememberMe setting in LoginSettings, so administrators can control whether the Remember Me option is available on the login form at all. When it's off, the checkbox is neither shown nor respected, so the option is a real security policy control, not just a UI toggle.

Renewed as Microsoft MVP for 2026-2027.

Orchard Core updatesContent Version Pruning FeatureThe new Content Version Pruning feature provides a background task that periodically deletes old archived content item versions; versions that are neither the latest nor the published one. On sites that are edited often, every save or publish leaves the previous version behind in the database. Over time, these accumulate, growing the storage footprint and slowing version-history queries. Pruning keeps that history bounded. The latest draft and the published version of an item are never deleted; only superseded (archived) versions are eligible.
