 I am happy to announce the release of DotNetNuke 5.4.1 which corrects the major issues which slipped through the QA process for 5.4. While we try to do a good job in testing our releases, our recent efforts for 5.3 and 5.4 have fallen short of the mark. We are currently working with a small team of commercial module developers and the core team to put a better public beta testing process in place that will help augment our own internal testing. Ultimately, community testing is the only testing that truly scales, and we have struggled with how to effectively use the community even while keeping to a tight release schedule. While this is not as critical for our stabilization releases where we seem to have no difficulty achieving an acceptable level of quality, it is absolutely essential that we have community feedback and testing of our quarterly feature releases. As usual, you can see the full list of changes for this release on the changelog.
Major Highlights
- Fixed issue with assembly version type.
- Fixed issue with multiple cancel buttons on Add User screen.
- Fixed issue with version number in Symbols package manifest.
- Fixed issue where system mails are sent from the recipient's email address instead of admin email address.
- Fixed issue with logo in Ribbon Bar.
- Fixed issue with race condition when adding entries to shared Dictionaries.
- Fixed issue with scheduler exceptions when more than one language is defined.
- Fixed issue when creating portals in non en-us culture.
- Fixed issue with adding a new language.
- Fixed issue with AJAX Script Manager
- Fixed issue with Source Package not opening correctly in Visual Studio.
- Fixed issue when logging into a multi-language portal when the user's preferred locale is not set.
- Fixed issue with generation of user links to use new Profile page.
- Updated version of Symbols package in manifest file.
- Improved 5.4.0 and 5.4.1 upgrade scripts to better handle upgrades when multiple languages are installed.
- Added label explaining portal localization drop-down on site settings. Updated static localization text to more friendly form.
- Added missing release notes for 5.4.

Re: DotNetNuke 5.4.1 Released
5.4.1 has past our testing for both new installs and upgrades and we have rolled it out to production today. All issues that we had been finding from 5.3.x to 5.4.0 have been resolved.
Very pleased with the prompt resolve from DNN Corp and the Teams involved.

Re: DotNetNuke 5.4.1 Released
Great release guys my upgrade problems in 5.4.0 are all sorted with this release just copied the new files in and the upgrade worked perfectly on all my sites. Nice work. Also if you need testers Please contact me I work with a company called Palatine Webpartners www.palatinewebpartners.com and I am converting all there sites into DNN sites and we have our own server to test on if you need any help.

Re: DotNetNuke 5.4.1 Released
@SzymonSi & Joe
Joe, I'm having the same error with the VS starter-kit. In fact, I haven't been able to use any of the starter-kits after DNN 5.2.2 - all of them throw out errors saying files are missing, etc, etc...
Also, has anyone done testing for the kits in VS2010..?

Re: DotNetNuke 5.4.1 Released
My first Post here, good morning,
Used AutoUpgrade to go beautifully from 5.2.3 to 5.4.1 in no time at all. Also upgraded modules with just one hitch. Blog 3.5.1 was giving an error when added to a page in 5.2.3 so upgraded to Blog 4.0 after the 5.4.1 upgrade, but same error occurring. Researching this now, found this post, thought I would say hi.
Regards,
Rod
