Size Matters
Sitefinity 5.0 mobile features modify web content to display correctly on desktops, tablets and smartphones. "Out-of-the-box, Sitefinity 5.0 integrates a responsive design approach that empowers a marketing end-user to define rule-based web pages that dynamically adapt to different size screens," the announcement says.
How do the mobile web features work? Cascading style sheets for CSS3 media queries resizes and selectively displays content from the same source page for desktop, tablet or smartphone screens. "Content authors can preview the page layout on numerous smartphone and tablet devices through the built-in device emulators to ensure page elements are displayed properly, and layout and design are preserved," the Sitefinity 5.0 site explains.
Other Updates
The latest Sitefinity release also includes a Forums module, Windows Authentication support, Single Sign On and Module Builder enhancements. With the Forums module, users can organize forums and threads and also manage memberships and moderators.
