Major Highlights

• Added the ability to automatically update user roles without requiring the user to logout and log back in.
• Changed the user deletion code to use a soft-delete rather than removing the user record.  This ensures that modules like the Forums behave correctly for a previously "deleted" user.
• Added IP logging to the User's table to capture the last IP address from which a user logged in.
• Fixed breaking change with case sensitivity in the name of skin panes.  This fix restores the case-insensitivity of previous DotNetNuke releases.
• Fixed breaking change with ModuleId in DotNetNuke 5.0 which changed ModuleId to a readonly value.
• Fixed breaking change in CBO.FillDictionary to restore previous behavior.
• Fixed breaking change which prevented legacy skins from being installed when using the auto-install option.
• Fixed breaking change which prevented updated DLLs from being replaced when repairing a module installation.
• Fixed breaking change in HumanFriendlyUrls which prevented querystrings from being properly read when using HumanFriendlyUrls
• Fixed breaking change in legacy modules which would not store a zip file which was not designated as a resource file.
• Fixed breaking change in legacy modules which ignored zip directories.  DNN 5 changed this behavior.
• Fixed breaking change in default.css which resulted in changes to existing skin layouts.
• Fixed issue with roles module which prevented users from delegating role administration to a non-admin user.
• Fixed issue which prevented some users from logging out due to the inability of the system to detect their country.
• Fixed issue with Module Action Menu which prevented it from opening links in new windows.
• Fixed issue that results in an error when the Cache logs an error under the new CACHE_ERROR event type
• Fixed a packaging issue with FCKEditor which caused the LinkEditor to cause an unhandled exception.
• Fixed an issue which resulted in the system not being able to display the portalaliases screen

Security Fixes

• Fixed version information leakage issue in the install wizard

Thanks,

For further info: - from Shaun Walker: Another milestone which we would like to bring to your attention today is the release of DotNetNuke Community Edition 5.0.1. This distribution is a stabilization release for the initial 5.0 product, and contains a variety of critical bug fixes and minor enhancements. Like any "dot-zero" product release, you can still expect to experience some functional issues with the 5.0 platform as it moves through the various stages towards maturity. As a result, at this point in time we still do not recommend the Community Edition 5.0.1 product for mission critical deployments; however, it can be safely used in internal or development scenarios. A production certified release of Professional Edition and Community Edition 5.1.0 is currently scheduled for April 2009, and you can expect a lot more news about this in the weeks ahead.
