DotNetNuke 5.6.1 released Upgrade Now, w/ video!

Thursday, January 20, 2011

I won’t regurgitate all of Joe Brinkman’s blog post announcing the fact that DotNetNuke 5.6.1 was released today.

There are a couple of new features added, Razor support, and better Portal Alias handling. There are a number of bug fixes, and even some security fixes included so I would encourage you to check it out, upgrade your sites in a test environment then get your production sites upgraded.

If you have never upgraded a DotNetNuke website it is actually pretty darn easy to do. Check out some upgrade instructions in the DotNetNuke Wiki, and check out the video below.

you should always backup the files and database before you perform maintenance on a site

I don't believe this release fixes the soft delete issue. You need this blog post http://www.dnndaily.com/tips/itemId/31941/How-to-Hard-Delete-users-in-DotNetNuke.aspx

I know that in order to use Razor we need to be at .Net version 3.5 right? Is there a good guide for getting there?

Penra, that actually requires 4.0, I hope to have a video later this week on the process for enabling and using Razor within DNN.
