I look at the Projects Downloads page on the DNN website, and the latest items listed there are from July 2011.  There have been several projects updated since then (Feedback module, Events module, Media module).  Is this page no longer maintained?  Is there another page where we can conveniently find out the latest version of core modules?  It seems that the "Upgrade?" column on the Extensions page under Host in a DNN installation is not a reliable way to keep track of the latest module versions.

For example, in the January 2012 edition of the DotNetNuke Community Newsletter, it mentions the release of a new Events module with a date of 12/27/11.  If you click on the link in the newsletter it takes you to the Extensions Forge page for the Events module, showing the latest stable release of 5.2.1 dated 11/15/11.  If I go to the Host>Extensions page in a DotNetNuke 6.1.2 installation and look at the instance of the Events module which happanes to have 5.2.0 installed, there is no indication in the "Upgrade?" column that 5.2.1 exists.

Hello,

thats a very good point, I'll ping the relevant people and try to get an "offical" answer, but heres my take on it - that page is now redundant and should redirect to the extension forge. The "core" modules have been changing over the past year and are now really community modules (albeit the most used ones, with project leads who are all core team members) - in fact we don't even ship them with dotnetnuke anymore. Instead users are encouraged to use the built in extension catalog (host->extensions then "more extensions) - Joe blogged about this at http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/B...

So then is the "Upgrade?" column on the Extensions page still relevant? What mechanism causes it to be updated? If these modules are no longer considered "Core", does that mean that they will no longer be adjusted in the "Upgrade?" column when new versions are released?

Actually the upgrade column is even more relevant - we now pull information from snowcovered (when the vendors provide it) and from the forge projects on codeplex meaning hundreds (if not thousands) of extensions provide their version details (as opposed to the 15 or so old "core" projects-which as forge projects also provide this information), allowing us to show upgrade indicators when they have a new release.

Then why is the Events module showing a newer version on Codeplex (5.2.1) that is not appearing in the "Upgrade?" column?
