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.
