 I am pleased to announce the release of DotNetNuke 5.4.0. This release comes hot on the heals of the 5.3.0 and 5.3.1 releases and is aimed at providing ASP.Net 4.0 support to coincide with the Visual Studio 2010 launch. This release also includes enhanced localization support and additional taxonomy support. While less than a month has passed since the last major release, we felt it was important to support ASP.Net 4.0 very close to the platform launch which necessitated back to back major releases. Going forward we will be returning to our regular monthly maintenance releases with another major release coming mid-summer. As usual, you can see the full list of changes for this release on the changelog.
Major Highlights - Fixed issue where portal settings were not saved per portal.
- Fixed issue with User Profile and Custom Registration modules
- Fixed issue with importing page templates.
- Fixed issue with updating Site Settings.
- Fixed issue with System.Web.Extensions dependencies when running in ASP.NET 4.0
- Fixed the View Profile module so it displays a message if it is placed on a page which is not defined as the Portal's profile page.
- Fixed issue with content list module not being added to search results.
- Fixed issue with yellow screen on some upgrades.
- Fixed issue where the registration email was being sent to the user being registered instead of the admin user.
- Fixed issue with missing fields in new vw_PortalsDefaultLanguage View
- Ported TelerikEditorProvider to Community Edition
- Included latest release of Telerik controls.
- Ensured compatibility with ASP.NET 4.0 runtime.
- Modified code to use more efficient string comparison methods.
- Improved performance of GetTabPermissionsByPortal stored procedure.
- Improved efficiency of core object caching.
- Improved performance by pre-compiling commonly used regular expressions.
- Ribbon Bar Control Panel –The new ribbon bar control panel provides content contributors with more editing options in a highly convenient format, allowing users to create pages, install new modules, edit content, and preview pages more quickly and easily than ever before.
- Added support for localizing portal details.
Security Fixes 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 - Form and List Module 05.01.02
Providers - Telerik Html Editor Provider 05.04.00

Re: DotNetNuke 5.4.0 Released.
Joe - I just upgraded our local version with the upgrade build and the Telerik controls showed a mismatch. I am not sure why but I then copied across the install files, and it went through the upgrade perfectly. Does this need to be looked at?
Very excited about the new editor. This looks like a great build!
Thanks for the fast release, and thanks to Telerik for bringing more shine and polish to this already great product!!

Re: DotNetNuke 5.4.0 Released.
Joe,
Is there any documentation for the new HTML editor? Looking around I don't see how you can set toolbars based on roles as you can with FCK or even to tell it which toolbar set to use, as well as some of the other features (such as default image upload path).
Also, since it's not in the CE will there be a forum for it just as there is one for FCK for these types of questions?
Thanks!

Re: DotNetNuke 5.4.0 Released.
I ran into the same issue with the Telerik controls bombing the install. Is Nina suggesting that I can just copy the contents of the Install folder in the upgrade package and the upgrade will run?

Re: DotNetNuke 5.4.0 Released.
Is there any way to get rid of the "Alpha Version" text that appears in the browser's title bar with this release? Obviously, I can't go live with something like that on a production site.

Re: DotNetNuke 5.4.0 Released.
The 5.2, 5.3 verison of the s.5.4 is very stable, I have only a problem if I am working with telerik q3 2009, the 5.4 works with 2010, as management this incompatibility?

Re: DotNetNuke 5.4.0 Released.
I'm getting similar issues with the Telerik controls. It's usually very easy to setup a dev environment
