DotNetNuke 4.9.1 Released

The DotNetNuke 4.9.1 package was released on  Christmas eve.  This is an special date in the history of DotNetNuke as the original release was also on Christmas eve.  4.9.1 is a minor stabilization release, although we did add a few small enhancements including the new dashboard which I will cover in depth in a separate blog.  Below is a list of the major items included in 4.9.1.  As always you can see a complete list with all the details of each fix/change in the ChangeLog.

Major Highlights

• Fixed issue with the cache which was preventing proper operation of the scheduler.
• Fixed issue with web crawlers which could cause thrashing in the cache
• Fixed issue with the EventQueue to remove events that result in an error.  This prevents an event from filling the event log with errors.
• Fixed issue with the RoleController.GetUserRoles method which introduced a breaking change in 4.9.0.
• Added a new column to the version table to distinguish between Community Edition and Professional Edition installs
• Added a new feature for logging server restarts in a web farm environment.
• Added a new admin Dashboard page.  The dashboard provides a single page where hosts can view an overall snapshot of their site.

Security Fixes

• Critical - User can access additional roles for which they do not have permissions
