• Ribbon Bar Control Panel: The new ribbon bar control panel enables content contributors with additional editing options in a convenient format, allowing users to create pages, install new modules, edit content, and preview pages quickly and easily.
• My Editable Pages: The new editing feature provides links to all of the pages and modules in the site that a content contributor has permission to modify, enabling more efficient page editing.

New features in this version of DotNetNuke include,

• Taxonomy: An advanced taxonomy system enables a web site administrator to create an unlimited number of vocabularies of terms to associate to pages or modules in a site. These attributes are stored in a common content store, which provides new ways to aggregate and publish content.
• Social Networking: A new, rich user profile forms the basis for advanced social networking applications. It allows users to upload photos so they can easily personalize their identity and supports templates for layout customization.
• Messaging Capability:  A new message repository and API allows messages to be delivered in different ways including real-time and batch. An inbox provides users with a view of the messages they have received and sent, as well as administrative tools to manage the messages.
