DNN 4.05.01?, what's new?

A DotNetNuke 4.5.1 package was posted for public download yesterday. This release contains fixes to a number of issues identified after 4.5.0 was publicly released.

Specifically:

1. FCKEditor - there was an issue when using FCK Editor on a Site vs. Virtual Directory when trying to insert an image from the gallery. This was fixed in the FCK Editor provider. In addition, the Preview option in the Html/Text editor would result in double path specifications for images. This was fixed in the core framework.

2. Upgrade - the SQL script which added unique constraints on the Folders and Files tables needed to have logic added to remove any duplicate data prior to creating the constraints. A new 04.05.01.SqlDataProvider was added and the constraints were removed from the 04.05.00.SqlDataProvider script.

3. Roles - changes made in 4.5.0 related to bugs identified with Trial subscriptions affected other behavior of Roles. These additional use cases were fixed and tested.

4. ClientAPI - a WebControls DLL compiled in Debug mode was mistakenly included with DNN 4.5.0. A new version of the WebControls DLL compiled in Release mode was included instead.

5. Survey - due to the changes made for xhtmlConformance, the Survey module became inoperable in DNN 4.5.0. A new version of Survey was passed through the release process and included in the release.

6. Starter Kit - some file paths for FCKEditor and Resources needed to be shortened in order for the Starter Kit to install properly ( maximum path length = 108 characters ).


Note: #6 above necessitated a path change for the FCK Editor support files. As a result, there is a change required in the web.config on upgrade to replace the paths "Providers/HtmlEditorProviders/FckhtmlEditorProvider/" with "Providers/HtmlEditorProviders/Fck/"

The issues resolved for this release can be seen on the roadmap
