Over the last 18 months I have been working on a series of DotNetNuke extensions aimed at providing Twitter support in DotNetNuke.  The effort started with Monitter4DNN which is a DotNetNuke Module for displaying an auto-updating list of tweets based on some search criteria.  The search terms are completely configurable by the module administrator.  This module was subsequently renamed to SocialScapes which is more indicative of the long-term vision for the project.

SocialScapes is envisioned as a social framework with a supporting suite of modules, widgets and mobile applications.  Ultimately the goal is to incorporate data and services from multiple social networks, with the core platform running on DotNetNuke.  The administrator should be able to configure the platform through a set of plugins to interact with one or more social platforms. 

I am pleased to announce the release of DotNetNuke 5.4.2.  5.4.2 is a monthly stabilization release which addresses a couple dozen issues with the 5.4 release.  Because of the 5.4.1 release, the 5.4.2 release cycle was shortened which meant that a few high profile issues were not able to make the cutoff for this release.  We expect to address those issues in the 5.4.3 release due out in June.  This release also includes numerous code contributions and bug fixes submitted by the community.  We will be working closely with the community on the 5.4.3 release in order to further scale the number of issues we can get addressed in that release. As usual, you can see the full list of changes for this release on the changelog.
