DotNetNuke 4.9.3 Released

by Shaun Walker on Tuesday, April 07, 2009 1:00 AM

logo DotNetNuke 4.9.3 represents a stabilization release to the production-grade 4.x codebase.

As always you can see a complete list with all the details of each fix/change in the ChangeLog.

Major Highlights

  • Add Office 2007 File Extensions to default allowable file extensions in Host Settings
  • Add reference to SQL Server 2008 to Install Wizard to make it clear that SQL Server 2008 is supported
  • Moved Whats New Module/Page to Host menu as it contains content which is not applicable to the Administrator
  • Corrected a problem with "Auto" installation option which would occur when using a non-dbo database user
  • Inline updates to Text/HTML were not HTML encoded when stored in the database
  • App_Browser renamed to App_Browsers in order for ASP.NET to recognize it correctly
  • Pages in the navigation menu linked directly to a file no longer served the file correctly
  • Can not delete Portal if search items exist in the database which are associated to the portal
  • Removed None Specified option for Folders in Page Export feature as it could cause an error if a user clicked Export without selecting a folder.
  • Fixed major performance issue when adding new portals which would cause the system to unload and reload all cached objects

Hi, please forgive me, but I'm trying to understand this sentence corrrectly: "App_Browser renamed to App_Browsers in order for ASP.NET to recognize it incorrectly"<br><br>In order for ASP.NET to recognize it incorrectly? I've had 5 cups of coffee today, so maybe I'm just not getting it? We want ASP.NET to recognize it incorrectly?<br><br>Thanks,

Mark Gordon - Good catch! Definitely a problem with the App_Browsers wording - I have fixed it now.<br><br>In regards to 5.x, we are deep into development on the 5.1 iteration. More information will be posted shortly.
