Performing the upgrade from the Beta, I got stuck at: 51% ERROR occured - Installing Module - DNNCE_Dashboard_08.00.00_Install.zip.
Re-ran the upgrade wizard and it succeeded the second time though it took much longer than usual, 3 minutes 37 seconds... which is fine, just unusual for my usually very snappy DEV server.
Things appear to be working well now after minimal testing.
Here's the relevant logs from the error:
