DNN 7.3.3 Released

I am pleased to announce that DNN Platform 7.3.3 has been released. The 7.3.3 release was a stabilization release. One of the highlights for this release was the significant number of pull requests we received from community members. The community provided over 40% of all fixes that went into the 7.3.3 release which is definitely in keeping with the spirit of joint ownership and development of the DNN Platform. I look forward to increasing this level of participation coming in future releases.

You can download the latest release from the Community Downloads page.

I want to give a special mention to Torsten Weggen who we missed in the 7.3.2 community contribution section of the release notes.  Torsten added an enhancement that allows portal admins to select an alternate icon set. Thank you Torsten for the contribution.
