Hi, where is DNN 5.4.3? I can only see DNN 5.4.2 and 5.4.4. I have DNN 5.4.2 and need to fix the page management problem, I understand this is fixed in DNN 5.4.3. Or can I upgrade from 5.4.2 to 5.4.4 (and skip 5.4.3)?

As usual, DNN gets better and better with every release - and I especially love releases like this one, where the focus is on stability.

I want to use the vb source to see how the DNN API is used. Unfortunately, on first build it had at least 56 compile time errors and warnings. I would like to see this cleared up. Just because it is a free community edition, doesn't mean the source or binaries can have loads of problems for the user to deal with. Most of it is functions that should be subs. There are other errors as well.

Everything allways working perfect but the installation sometimes makes me nuts... :P

Just tried to upgrade as a novice would by unzipping the upgrade over my current 4.9.6 and then running the install. It failed with too many errors to count. The install I tried to upgrade from did have some third party modules, however, that's how it is in the real world. Many people have installs with third party modules. Needs MUCH MORE WORK.

Did upgrade with DnnAutoUpgrade module in couple minutes! Excellent job

This is another exceptional release but I wonder if you guys are ever going to fix the exceptions it generates. Clean install still generates errors. My ISP is continually restarting the AppPool because of errors from the core.

Microsoft Web Platform Installer Deployment package is missing the TELERIK DLL and errors. The New Install download works fine. Great release overall but a hiccup with the installer that needs to be resolved.

My installation had issues with iwebcore module. Error output indicates iweb uses obsolete expressions. Only after uninstalling iweb did the upgrade succeed. Thereafter, iweb can no longer be installed neither.

No problems found so far.....

No problems so far! This update fixed my problem of not being able to upload a new logo image in version 5.4.1.

The upgrade of my parent and child portals from version 5.4.1 to 5.4.2 was flawless. It's a pitty though that the problem with the admin link is not solved in this issue, hence my 4 star rating instead of 5

The Telerik.Web.UI.dll file is still not included in the upgrade package!

Thanks to the DNN team. Smooth installation and upgrade. I notice however that a major issue with the page admin (which is breaking sites) has yet to be addressed. DNN Issue number -12428 (Page Management Still Broken) http://support.dotnetnuke.com/issue/ViewIssue.aspx?id=12428&PROJID=2)

Excellent upgrade. Clean installation. Stable build. My observation that x.x.2 is the first stable release holds true again. Thanks a bunch for the DNN team. Keep up the good work!

Upgraded! Thanks
by christoc on May 19, 2010 at 6:57 PM
     
Finally! This is the first release since 5.2 where the upgrade actually worked like it should. I'm glad with the fixes and the added functionality too. I hope the next release will massage out the last issues on this branch so we can move on to better things (I'm still hoping for that next step in localization...).
