DotNetNuke 4.9.0 Announced 

This afternoon Joe Brinkman of the DotNetNuke corporation announced that RC1 of DNN 4.9.0 was just released to DNN 5.0 beta testers.  Full details on this announcement can be found in his announcement post on the DotNetNuke Forums.

For site administrators this release is a bit of good news, it replaces the planned 4.8.5 security release that was announced previously.  In addition to the security tidbits included this release will include a few DNN 5 fixes that are backported to work in the DNN 4.x platform.  For those that will be leary of going to DNN 5 right away it will get some added features that many consider much needed.

Expect to see some more postings here about the upcoming release as I start my testing/upgrade processes to start updating the various documents hosted here.

I was expecting 4.8.5 first but it is good to know that 4.9.0 release will include more fixes.

One thing i am not happy with is; no more public beta testing for release candicates.

Ismet,

The RC testing is available for those that were testing DNN 5.0. Granted it isn't the best case scenario, but it is better than nothing.

Dave,

As always! :)
