Release Notes: February 2010

Released: February 6, 2010

The February 2010 release of the IGLOO Platform contains several enhancements, new features and fixes.


Some of the highlights of this release include:

  • Instant Messaging & VoIP Integration. Find, reach and communicate with others in your community quickly and cost effectively. With our new real-time communication module, you can integrate with Skype™, Windows Live™ Messenger, Google Talk™ and Yahoo!® Messenger to make it easier to connect with those hard-to-reach contacts.
  • Wallpaper Configuration. Quickly and easily revitalize the look and feel of your site by changing the background image of your community.
  • Single Authentication. For your users, there's one less password to remember. For your administrators, IGLOO's new authentication module will allow you to connect your community to a secure LDAP server (such as Microsoft Active Directory Server) to centralize authentication, storage and maintenance of user accounts.
  • User Profile Cards.  Wherever you see a user's profile picture in your community, hover over it to view a new Profile Card.  This can help you learn more about those contributing to your community, navigate quickly to their profile, or send them a message.
  • Filter your Pulse.  The Recent Activity widget for building pages just became more powerful.  You can filter the activity to display a single user group.  Now you can see activity about content and people who matter to you!
  • Enhancements to every major area of our product suite.  Features and enhancements ideas often come from you - our customers.  You tell us what areas of the product you use most and we are continually trying to improve those areas.
