Double release in DotNetNuke

On the Eve of Christmas DotNetNuke Team has a double release of both DotNetNuke 4.9.1 and 5.0.0. Unlike 4.9.1, DNN 5 was a huge change that concerned hundreds of bug fixes, changes and enhancements. A large number of the bug fixes and a few of the changes were back ported to the 4.8.x and 4.9.x branches, however there are still many bug fixes and enhancements that are only available in DNN 5. DotNetNuke 5.0 is the zenith of over a year of growth and testing. That is not to declare there won’t be bugs found, but just that we depleted a lot of time in this release trying to make sure we were not breaking anything in our efforts to refractor the codebase DNN 5 is included many fundamental changes in the architecture which will make it much easier for us to integrate and experiment future features.

Major Highlights

• Added jQuery support to the core platform. jQuery will now be distributed as part of the DotNetNuke installation and will be available for use by module developers.
• Added support for Internet Explorer 8 Web Slices. Administrators can configure any module to use IE8 Web Slices including the ability to set time-to-live and expiration values.
• Removed distinction between admin modules and pages and normal pages. This allows administrators to easily delegate access to any portion of the application to any group of users.
• Updated the installation services to support manifest files for all extension types. Now skins, containers, providers and modules are all first class citizens that can be installed and uninstalled.
• Expanded XHTML, WCAG and ADA compliance.
• HTML skin, you can even get a full WYSIWYG experience when designing your skin.

Microsoft.net standardization

Microsoft has already certification for both C# and CLI from ECMA and ISO/IEC as Industry standards to help in enhancing the credibility of the newer. Net platform allures others to adopt .Net. Several companies and government organizations only utilize ISO certified technologies; for example, in Australia anything ISO certified is also considered Australian standard according to the rules of the Australian government.

Quite a few academic institutions are now interested in teaching standard C#. Major outcome of an open industry standard specification is .Net platform could be getting ported to other platforms like Linux and UNIX; best example is the Mono Project by Ximian- it is an open source implementation of .Net platform for UNIX and Linux based on ECMA approved Public Domain Specification of C# and CLI. Microsoft has released all intellectual property in the core C#/CLI platform to the public sphere. Henceforth, no one needs a license to implement C#/CLI. This helps one and all in enhanced accepting the implementations of C# and CLI which are at the core of .Net platform. However, the whole of .Net platform is not a Public domain standard- Microsoft still owns complete Intellectual property rights to several class libraries and API within the .Net platform.

Prerequisite of building or executing .NET applications

One has to accumulate first all its constituent assemblies and modules including the executable assembly. When, the constituent assemblies are arranged, one needs to be sure that the target system is included the .NET framework.

The application can now be executed by running its executable assembly (the .exe file). The executable assembly (.exe) is a Win32 executable that hosts the .Net CLR (Common Language Runtime), which is present as a COM component, in its process space and initializes it. Once the CLR is hosted and initialized, the opening point of the .NET executable assembly is passed to the hosted CLR which starts the execution of the program by translating and executing the parts of the program code.

DotNetNuke gets capital injection

Good news came in this week. It has been in the air for some time and those of you who've attended OpenForce have surely heard rumors about this. DNN has raised venture capital (I'm not a silicon valley resident, so the 'series A' label threw me off). This means a group of investors came to the conclusion that their money would probably make more money by injecting it into DotNetNuke Corp. Given the fact that we're talking Open Source software and we're in an economic downturn, I'd say this is quite something the corp have managed to pull off here.

It makes you wonder where they took those guys in Vegas. But seriously, DNN is of course quickly finding its way into businesses of all sizes. And the economic downturn is probably a blessing in disguise as CTOs are looking for cheaper alternatives for their web-based applications.

So how does this affect us? Well for a start the corp will be able to hire more manpower to develop the framework. This means faster development and more release cycles per year. We have all been yearning for this. 2008 saw many distractions and as a result DNN 5 has been severely delayed. Now managers can stick to managing and developers can stick to developing.

Related to this I foresee hiring people to do those things which are hard to get off the ground in an Open Source project. I'm thinking about better and more complete documentation, usability studies, and graphics professionals, among others.

Another advantage that impacts our business is the corp's ability to splurge on marketing now. You can never have enough visibility or growth. The more installations there are out there, the better this is for the eco-system like Bring2mind or the countless companies delivering solutions based on DNN.
