iD 4.2 is now available for a download and is one of our most significant releases to date, containing more than 600 updates, fixes and enhancements.

Some of the exciting new features include:

• New iD CMS components – We’ve added 5 new iD CMS components, allowing content from Ad Manager, Company Calendar, Quick Poll, People Search and Forum applications to be easily incorporated into iD CMS pages.
• Advanced SharePoint search integration – While iD is not based on SharePoint, Enterprise Search now allows the integration of SharePoint site searches with iD searches. You can customize the search tabs in order to search content from SharePoint sites and return the results in the same format as iD search results.
• Lightning fast performance enhancements – iD 4.2 adds a massive performance boost through enhanced caching. Testing has shown that iD 4.2 performs up to 4x faster than the previous version and transmits up to 8x less data. This results in ultra-fast page loading and a reduced bandwidth usage.
• Useful top rated forum topic RSS feed – We’ve added a great new RSS feed of top-rated forum topics based on ratings given by users.
• Flexible user group based login redirection – New functionality is available to configure Front End User login redirects at a user group level. This allows users to be directed to a specific subsite or iD content page when they log in. Previously this functionality needed to be set individually, but now it can be managed swiftly at a group level.
