As some of you sly cats may have noticed, DNN 4.5.3 was released early this morning. I don't have a full list of things, but 4.5.3 has a few bug fixes from the 4.5.2 release that dropped just a day or two ago. If you upgraded to 4.5.2 you might as well go ahead and upgrade to 4.5.3.
I'll be upgrading my sites using the 4.5.3 Upgrade package, which will allow me to just copy the files from the ZIP right over my website files, without having to change any web.config settings. If you use one of the other packages, such as install or source, be sure to copy your connectionstrings, machinekeys, objectqualifiers, databaseowners and any other custom web.config changes you've made.
As always, don't forget to backup your database and filesystem before performing an upgrade!

Re: DNN 4.5.3 Released
perhaps we should implement a webservice deploying the latest dnn version. so we could automatically update our dnn installation.

Re: DNN 4.5.3 Released
You might also want to mention that the search skin object has changed, and now contains a radio button for site and/or web search.

Re: DNN 4.5.3 Released
I'm running 4.5.1 and I need to upgrade to this fixed build.
Is it enough that I simply unpack the upgrade.zip over the top of the 4.5.1 build, update the (renamed) web.config to incorporate the DB connection strings, machine keys and Object qualifier and run the site from the portal 0 alias?
I don't get the usual 'Upgrade Completed' screen when I follow these steps. The portal simply loads. My Host Settings now display V04.05.03 as the current build. Has this upgrade worked?
BTW: My skins are now broken because of the nifty new "Web | Site" options for the DNN search. Marvellous :-)
Thanks-
Pat Cusack.

Re: DNN 4.5.3 Released
Pat, if you just extract the "upgrade" package over your existing site the site should upgrade fine, you'll notice the upgrade package doesn't have a web.config file so I've had luck with just going that route on sites that I know didn't need a new web.config file such as an upgrade from 4.5.1 to 4.5.3. Had I been going from 4.4.1 I would have used the install package.
Yes, the skin thing is a bit annoying but you can go through and turn that off fairly easily in your skins

Re: DNN 4.5.3 Released
Is there a way to comment the web and site radio buttons out?
