These two versions were released on Christmas Eve.  You can download them from the DotNetNuke.com site.

I tried one upgrade to 4.9.1, and it wasn't successful.  I haven't had time to go back and try it again.  I've also seen a bug report regarding the Users Online module in 4.9.1.  The caching issue that existed in 4.9.0 seems to have been resolved, based on reports.

Version 4.9.1 was intended to be the final stabilization release for the 4.x series of DotNetNuke versions.  If you use Users Online, it probably isn't for you.


On the other hand, 5.0 is the very first version of DotNetNuke, the next generation.  As a .0 release, I would expect some rough edges. Although it is touted as suitable for live sites, I'll probably use it experimentally waiting for a point release of two.  I would expect that those will come quickly.  Use it to test the "ugradability" of your sites, and to verify that all of your modules work with it.  Check the DotNetNuke.com site for others' experiences.

But ... moving into the new year, it looks like DotNetNuke is leading the way.  I can't wait to get my hands around some of the new features.  There's even one nice new feature in 4.9.1!

Hello,

I've just been experimenting with this upgrading a fresh 4.6.2 (default installation no extra modules added) to 5.0.0 and got errors:

00:00:18.624 -   Executing Script: 04.07.00.SqlDataProvider Error! (see 04.07.00.log for more information)

Error: Violation of UNIQUE KEY constraint 'IX_FolderPermission'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.FolderPermission'.
The statement has been terminated.


However, if you go from 4.6.2 to 4.9.1 you get no errors

This was using DNN Blue skin which then changes to Minimal Extropy skin - when the portal loads up press CTRL + F5 to refresh the cache and get the menu to display correctly.

You can then upgrade 4.9.1 to 5.0.0 + you get no errors.

Again, you need to press CTRL + F5 to reload home page as this time the menu disappears completely - this will refresh the cache + the menu should then display.

Hope this helps,

This post is worth a read in the main dnn forums

Having upgraded, one thing that is confusing is where are the core modules installation section? in 4.9 and below we had the simple tick boxes in Module definitions to install the core modules, now they are gone, but the core module zip resource files are still in the install folder waiting to be installed.

Talk about hiding things - it took me a while even though it was staring me in the face!

In the Control Panel at the top of the page - click on Install Additional Extensions - this takes you to the tick box selection that you should all be familiar with where you can install the core modules.

It would be handy if that link was in the Extensions menu page as well!!!

It is on the Extensions page as well - named 'Batch Install Extensions' stefan blogged about it here

It looks like there is going to be a bit of learning involved here!
