Orchard Core consists of two distinct projects:

• Orchard Core Framework: An application framework for building modular, multi-tenant applications on ASP.NET Core.
• Orchard Core CMS: A Web Content Management System (CMS) built on top of the Orchard Core Framework.

Stable (release/1.8.2):

Nightly (main):

The software is production-ready, and capable of serving large mission-critical applications as well, and we're not aware of any fundamental bugs or missing features we deem crucial. Orchard Core continues to evolve, with each version bringing new improvements, and keeping up with the cutting-edge of .NET.

Check out the Reference of Built-in Modules to see what kind of features Orchard Core provides built-in.

See the issue milestones for information on what we have planned for the next releases and what are the priorities.

The documentation can be accessed under https://docs.orchardcore.net/. See the getting started docs on how to start using Orchard Core.

You can also run Orchard Core from Docker:
