DNN Releases Archives

Thanks for pushing this request from me through! Any idea when pre 04.03.00 releases will be posted?

So glad this effort was made, THANK YOU!!

Hello David, I will try to complete uploading the missing artifacts next week.

Nice - thanks George!

Thank you so much for getting this out there and easier to find!

Today I uploaded releases 1.x, 2.x, 3.x, and modified/updated/uploaded some other packages. This makes all the releases of DNN from 1.x to 9.x available to everyone in GitHub

BTW, Archives 4.x contain 1.x, 2.x, and 3.x as well.

George, thank you. I do believe though that it does not make sense to place 1.x, 2.x and 3.x in the 4.x archive. I realize the driver for separate repos was storage size, but we want this to be intuitive in the end for everyone. So, I recommend either renaming the 4.x archive repo to reflect 1.x - 4.x or create separate repos for 1.x, 2.x and 3.x. Again, thanks so much for the effort!

Can we also get the missing releases uploaded to the DNN.Platform repo? For example, 07.04.01 and 07.04.02 are missing now for some reason.

Yes, Codeplex has closed but every project is full archived in a handy .zip file!
I'd like to know if is there any tool to simple browse all files described in .json format file inside every .zip codeplex archive.
With manual search It is difficultous to find specific release, discussion, issue or a wiki page inside the archives.
It would be very useful if Microsoft had also thought there with any tools able to read that json files to would help you navigate through the zip archive files and folders!
does anyone know anything like that?

@Scippy One, that is actually what spawned this entire effort to get at least the release packages on mto GitHub. I think many of us have felt the pain of haviving to download he CodePlex Archive ZIP (which is extremely slow) and then having to traverse it and painfully deal with all the GUID file names. Hopefully this effort will help to alleviate at least a piece of that pain. :)

Thanks David, but navigate into release zip file it's quite simple after analyzed json file.
The matter becomes almost impossible if you need to navigate into issue, discussion or wiki folder!
It is unbelievable that such an important and widespread project as codeplex did not think before closing to an instrument to navigate inside the archives!

I actually agree with you. ;-)

David, I uploaded the two missing releases 07.04.01 and 07.04.02. If there are any other missing one, please let me know.

George, thank you, but as previously stated, those two releases (07.04.01 and 07.04.02) need to be in the main DNN.Platform repo (not the archive). Otherwise, I recommend you set a 7.x archive repo and move ALL of those there. Just think of how the end user's experience will be when trying to find these releases and make it easy and intuitive for them.

David, if I add them to the main Platform repo, then the will have today's date as the release date and someone might think of them as new releases. I prefer to keep them as is. As for end users confusion, the README file is clear about it and this provides some clue.

From the README: "Releases 07.02.01 and above can be found under the Releases tab in the DNN Platform repository in GitHub." So, no, this is not clear to end users. Sorry, not trying to be difficult. :)

Please add 07.02.02
We really need access to it (both install and source code).

@George Alatrash - when can expect the "dust to settle" with these? It seems attention to detail is a must on these. People are having a hard time getting to specific versions and things keep disappearing here and there.

@Shelly, release 7.2.2 is located here https://github.com/dnnsoftware/Dnn.Platform/releases/tag/v7.2.2.303-stable

@Davicd, regarding 'settling the dust', I'm not responsible about maintaining this repo anymore.

@George - who is responsible then? People need access to these packages. The link you shared only has a ZIP of the repo. @Shelly is asking for the Source and Install PACKAGES. This is not the same thing.

Ask @Ash.Prasad

I've given permissions to @DavidP to update the repos.

Thank you Ash - I will work to get these repos in order as soon as possible.

For everyone following this thread, I have now resolved all issues with the Archive repositories on GitHub. Now there are repos for 1.x all the way through 9.x. I will be publishing a follow-on blog post with more details. Thanks.

It would be great if THIS post were updated with links to everything. Fantastic work David, thank you!!

Thanks Jeremy. I will be posting a new blog, hopefully today, to help "connect all the dots". :)

Please see the following blog post as promised:

Thanks David for taking over.

For those interested in extracting CoedPlex archives from the downloaded files, you can use this small application (or call it a tool if you like) to do do. I uploaded the tool here: https://github.com/galatrash/CodePlexArchiveExtractor

...of course i would run across this AFTER i download the codeplex archive.. lol thanks everyone!

LOL - Murphy's Law Stephen. Hopefully, it will provide help for future needs! :)
