I am happy to announce that DotNetNuke 5.2.0 has been released.  This release comes after an extensive beta testing period and a corresponding effort by our internal testing team.  As one of our quarterly feature releases, 5.2.0 includes a number of new capabilities.  We have improved some of the module creation and packaging tools, improved our module caching support and added Page Output caching for our Professional customers.  These are just a few of the many changes and fixes in this release as indicated below. As usual, the complete details for all of the changes can be found in the ChangeLog.

Major Highlights
  • Added Module Information to the Help page
  • Added ability to view and edit the source files for a module
  • Enhanced the module creation wizard to simplify creating new module definitions
  • Added the ability to automatically create a test page as a step in the module creation wizard
  • Added a core API to support content localization
  • Added the ability to import/export page and module settings
  • Added the ability to immediately run a scheduled task
  • Added module caching provider API
  • Converted existing module caching feature to use new provider
  • Added page output caching provider API
  • Fixed issue where upgraded sites do not properly set the default Language
  • Fixed issue where scheduler could execute a a long-running task multiple times
  • Fixed issue where improperly formatted email addresses could result in error when sending system emails
  • Fixed issue which resulted in incorrect URL for SiteMap in a child portal
  • Fixed issue which caused error when deleting files from the Host file manager.
Security Fixes
  • Fixed issue where Install Wizard could leak version information to anonymous users
  • Fixed issue where search page might be vulnerable to script injection
Updated Modules/Providers

The following modules and providers have been updated in the 5.2.0 packages.  Please see the specific project pages for notes on what bugs or enhancements were corrected with each release.

Modules
  • HTML 05.02.00
  • Gallery 04.03.00
  • Wiki 04.02.00
Providers

Re: DotNetNuke 5.2.0 Released

Thanks, first installs worked as usual very good.
I think some clarification needs to be done regarding the Telerik agreement.
As I read it I can't use the included software for own modules even if I have a developer license. However I can use it to change skinobjects etc that have been as part of the DNN Core software without Telerik separate developer licence.
(couldnt find any such object just now)
So whats the benefit of the software for community developers?

Re: DotNetNuke 5.2.0 Released

Joe,
The .vb files are missing for the HTML module in the Install and the Source packages. I had to download the entire project and copy the 4 .vb files for the .ascx controls in DesktopModules/HTML.

Even after doing this, the site still won`t build in Visual Studio. I just get Could not load type `DotNetNuke.Modules.Html.EditHtml/Settings/MyWork/HtmlModule` errors.

Thank you very much,

Andy

Re: DotNetNuke 5.2.0 Released

Add to previous post...
I need the api documentation or documentation for developing.
I read the indexes of documentations available with DNN5 but not sufficient for the development of new modules.

Re: DotNetNuke 5.2.0 Released

Another question but "Fixed issue where search page might be vulnerable to script injection " is avaible for DNN 5.1.4 or this issue is only of DNN 5.2.0?

Re: DotNetNuke 5.2.0 Released

@vr1001 vr1001 - Those install errors are caused by some issue with updating web.config. We are still trying to determine the cause of that issue as it is only impacting a small subset of machines and not others. I'll create another blog entry today detailing how to recover from that error.

Re: DotNetNuke 5.2.0 Released

Having the same issue as Andy. HTML.HTMLModule, EditHTML, MyWork, and HTML.Settings can't be loaded because of missing .vb files. Any quick fix?
Thanks!

@ITIC, @Rob - There is a new version of 5.2.0 Source Code package on CodePlex which resolves the packaging issues.

Re: DotNetNuke 5.2.0 Released

Hi,
Only in the version 5.2 I got problems with european signs like ä,ö,ü and so on. That are replaced with an "?". Changing the globalisation-section in the web.config - File doesn't work. The german DNN-usergroup mentioned that the Caching-Providers cause that error. When will appear the next release with that fixed bug?
Nice greets and merry chrismas
