This week, Mike Alhayek shows how to use Copilot directly inside Orchard Core!

But before that, check out some code where you can see that, starting now, Orchard supports static data migration methods, and suppressions are no longer required for migration steps that don't use instance state.

Welcome the first contribution from Jack Liu, who made the pagination of the List Part configurable to decide whether to show a full pager with page numbers or just the arrows to navigate to the previous and next pages.

Do you know that since 2013, we've been working with Óbuda University in a hands-on way to teach web development? If you are interested in our Orchard Core courses at the university, check out our post on our site!

As we mentioned, we started publishing last year's Harvest recordings to YouTube. Check them out for some inspiration, and don't forget to apply to be a speaker for this year's Harvest by the 5th of May, midnight, anywhere on Earth!
