OpenApi, Visual Layout Editor improvements - This week in Orchard (18/09/2026)

Want interactive API documentation without hand-writing a schema? Orchard Core v4 is getting a new OpenApi module with Swagger, ReDoc, and Scalar built in.

Need sign-ins to survive a browser restart without relying on a user's Remember me checkbox? A new setting controls persistent authentication cookies site-wide.

And curious how the Visual Layout Editor has evolved since June? It now detects every editor shape correctly, even ones with multiple editors like the SEO Meta Part.

This week's changes come from Jasmin Savard, Georg von Kries, and Nick Jackson.

Step away from that Node.js

When you develop a full-stack web app, Node.js just seems like a fact of life. Inescapable, even if you use .NET for everything, and comes with its own whole infrastructure even though you just want to manage a few front-end libraries for your app. It doesn’t have to be like that.
