sitefinity During the upcoming webinar (this Thursday), we’ll be showing the latest pre-release build of Sitefinity 4.0 (the RC).  In addition, we’ll also be unveiling 4.0’s new pricing.  The upcoming RC release will be the 4th pre-release version of Sitefinity 4.0. 

We’ve already delivered a ton of new features (features that did not exist in Sitefinity 3.x) with previous releases of Sitefinity 4.0.  This RC release will build on the innovations already found in those previous releases  (CTP, BETA1 & BETA2). 

Please attend the upcoming webinar to see what’s new in the RC.
