DotNetNuke 4.9.5 and 5.1.2 are now available for download.  DotNetNuke 5.1.2 is a stabilization release  focused exclusively on fixing outstanding bugs which did not make the cutoff for DotNetNuke 5.1.1 or which were discovered after 5.1.1 was released.  DotNetNuke 4.9.5 includes some security fixes and a critical fix which affected module caching.  DotNetNuke 4.9.5 represents that last release in the 4.x product line with all future development being focused on the 5.x platform.  As usual, if there are critical security issues, then we will certainly evaluate whether it warrants another 4.x release.  The DotNetNuke 5.1.2 Professional and Community edition releases continue the stabilization work that was begun with 5.1.1.  This release further solidifies an already great product and is the recommended version for production sites.  The changes outlined below were incorporated in these releases.  As usual, the complete details for all of the changes can be found in the ChangeLog.
