 This weekend, DotNetNuke 4.5.4 was released to benefactors for final release testing. 4.5.4 is primarily a stabilization release with just a few key enhancements and one new feature.
The final release date has not been announced pending the results of testing by the benefactors and core team. As part of this release we have started implementing new processes to help improve the stability of each release. We still have a lot of work to do, but this marks the first step in refining the process.

Re: DotNetNuke 4.5.4 has entered release testing
Does the numbering of DNN make any specific sense? I would think major release, minor release, bug fix, but this release has SSL, which is new. And is it my imagination or is the time between releases decreasing? Okay, so some were one or two day releases for a critical security issue (don't get me started on commenting on a release process that allows security issues out the door...), but still, it seems like I'm upgrading every month or so. At that rate I'll just wait for DNN 7.4.2 to be released in December.

Re: DotNetNuke 4.5.4 has entered release testing
@Jeff - We use the following criteria for product version numbers - Major - 1.0, 2.0 etc is reserved for major platform changes. These are significant changes that have far reaching implications for the entire platform. For example the 2.0 release include DAL and skinning, 3.0 included major breaking changes across the entire API, 4.0 required .Net 2.0. Minor - 1.1.0, 2.1.0, 4.5.0 is used for releases with substantial feature enhancements and major new features which have significant upgrade risks. Revision - 1.1.2, 4.5.4 is used for releases which primarily consist of bug fixes or enhancements which should have a low upgrade risk. People "should" be able to upgrade to any revision within a given minor release branch with very little risk. I say "should" because, as we have proved, we are not perfect in meeting our own standards.
So, with that said, we deem SSL support to be a low risk feature. The implementation preserves existing behavior on upgrade and requires an administrator to actively enable SSL support. In addition, this feature took just a few hours to implement and touches very little existing DNN code.

Re: DotNetNuke 4.5.4 has entered release testing
I tried to work with DNN4.5.3 and got exception. I saw a fix to the exception in DNN4.5.4.
Can you predict when this version will be released? How much time will it take to test it by benefactors and core team? A week? A month? or More?
I really want to use DNN4.5.4.
