DNN 5 RC2 Testing testing testing...

In case you didn't know (maybe you are still celebrating the US elections, or even recovering from your jet lag to Open Force) DNN 5 RC2 is out. Its only purpose is to give a heads up for the developer and skinner community, plus it gives YOU the ability to test the product to see if there are any issues. This will allow us the opportunity to fix anything we might have overlooked before final release, which I'm sure you would agree is a very good thing indeed.

Please - You should not use this for your live portals as upgrading from this version IS NOT SUPPORTED (bottom line) which means you might it very difficult if not impossible to upgrade to the final version, and even if you upgrade successfully you might be in for a bumpy ride later on.

If you find any live bugs, please report them here (please read instructions on the linked page on how to report an issue).

Before you report them however please check if the bug hasn't been reported already, the below points might help:

a) Check this PDF for outstanding issues known at this time for DNN 5 RC2.
b) Check the roadmap.
c) Follow this blog article on how to monitor issues in Gemini.

We very much value your feedback here as we wish the final release to be as stable as possible, the earlier you can test your installations the better. We would especially be interested in any issues with upgrading your 4.x portals (but if you do this, please do it offline and do not make the results available to your live users, again I repeat RC-2 is not for your live environment).

Those who have been hard on the case already - thanks very much for your help.

Many thanks.
