Hello,

I am trying to find out the differences between DotNetNuke 4.3.3(Final Release) and DotNetNuke 4.0.3.

i.e Any new feature included in DNN 4.3.3 that is not in 4.0.3.

One difference I know of is that there is some additional features in the SqlDataProvider.vb file in DNN 4.3.3 that is not

in DNN 4.0.3.  For example, we have the below coded in the SqlDataProvider.vb file in DNN 4.3.3, which is not found in DNN 4.0.3.

            SqlHelper.ExecuteNonQuery(ConnectionString, DatabaseOwner & ObjectQualifier & ProcedureName, commandParameters)
        End Sub
        Public Overrides Function ExecuteReader(ByVal ProcedureName As String, ByVal ParamArray commandParameters() As Object) As IDataReader

#End Region

I am just trying to see if it is worth upgrading from DNN 4.0.3 to DNN 4.3.3(Final Release) and if so, what is the fastest and easiest way to do this upgrade.

Hope to hear from someone soon.

Thanks in advance.
