Well today has been a great day for anyone who uses and develops with DotNetNuke. The first public release of 5.1 was released to everyone on Codeplex today. Although it wasn’t without mishap today.
The first version that was uploaded and released version 5.1.0.254 had a couple of show stopper issues that prevented the installation of the framework. This was quickly noticed and replaced with a good version.
I recommend anyone who is developing modules and skins for DNN and want to get a good look at the direction that the framework is headed, then you should download this version and see what is coming. There are some great changes that I will document in some future blog posts as time permits over the next week or so.
I will be posting a blog post about the installation of the new version and hope to have that available shortly.
To find out more:
One thing to remember with this software, it is beta software and should not be used in any production system. This software should only be used for evaluating the software as to new features that will be available in the release.
