I am on DNN 4.8.4 and we are looking into upgrading to the Professional Edition, which I believe is 5.2 right now.  I need to come up with a feature comparison to show my boss what we will gain by upgrading.  I understand what we'll gain in terms of going from community to professional, but is there somewhere I can find what features were added from 4 to 5?

Thank you!

Hello,

Please note that 4.x has been sunsetted i.e. it is no longer being actively developed, so I would recommend you consider 5.x.

However, as to your question, you could check the changelog at support.dotnetnuke.com which will show all the changes per version, but I suspect what would be easier would be to read Joe Brinkman's blog @ http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/B... . Joe is release manager so for each new release he writes up the "whats new" of it which is a clearer english description of the scope and content of a release - a little easier to digest than a list of bugfixes/enhancements.

Off the top of my head the major enhancements were : addition of widget framework, integrated jquery, deny permissions, admin page delegation,soft delete users, module auditing and logging, google analytics, content workflow for html,module output caching provider, page output caching provider , module creation wizard and many more.

Oh we are definitely considering the upgrade, and the fact that 4.x is no longer being developed is at the top of the list for reasons why!  We are just in a budget crunch (like everyone), so I have to justify the cost (time, stress, training, etc).  They want to know what they're going to get out of it.

I will check Joe's blog and thank you for your list!  I appreciate it!
