Version 3 Release Notes
updated
April 22nd, 2009
ASPPlayground.NET SQL Forum version 3 is built upon the extremely stable and
fast foundation of the Advanced Edition. Many of the advanced features
suggested by our clients are incorporated into this version, and many of the existing
features are optimized to provide even better scalability and security. The previous
version (2.x) has been proven to be able to serve more than 2000 concurrent
users, take in more than 10,000 posts per day, and
handle more than 20 million posts for the entire forum on a
single web / SQL server. No other sub-300 ASP.NET based forum can provide
this level of performance while offering such rich sets of features.
Version 3.4 Release Note
Version 3.4 is a major update to the software. The focuses of this update are to
- improve the User Experience by changing the way certain features are presented
to make the software even easier to use by members, and
- improve the Server Performance by changing certain caching algorithm to reduce
the memory footprint of the application by as much as 1/3, and
- improve Client Browser Compatibility by updating some HTML in the code and
finally bringing full IE 8 compatibility to the software. jQuery is now incorporated
into the software, and performs certain essential functions like UI animation
and certain Ajax requests.
- improve the UI for the admin control panel for better readability

user interface, preventing unimportant forums from cluttering the user interface.

moderators based on user group membership.
