oh and btw. I am still committed to supporting .Net 3.5.  There are some core modification being discussed regarding .Net 3.5 support in DNN 5.0. Nothing final yet, but as of right now, I am planning DNN 5.0/.Net 3.5 as the target platform for version 4.0 of the Repository. I know at least one person has voiced an opinion that if the repository 4.0 module required DNN 5.0 and .Net 3.5 it would be a disaster for him, however it's difficult to support the type of functionality I'm building in .Net 1.1 and/or 2.0, and the effort to support 2 code bases would be overwhelming.

It should also be possible to run version 4.0 of the Repository on a DNN 4.X site, but that will require some manual changes to the web.config file. 5.0 is looking like it will support the automated updating of your configs to add the 3.5 entries. Again, this is just in the discussion phase.

I am also considering at this point, releasing 4.0 as a brand new module, NOT an upgrade. Which means that you will be able to run Repository modules version 3.01.15 and 4.0.0 side by side on the same DNN site. I would certainly provide an 'import' or 'conversion' process for moving your 3.X modules over to 4.0, but I do not want to leave the 3.X users in a lurch if DNN 5.0/.Net 3.5 is not an option for them.

You really need to do THIS! 

Having the new version as a brand new module and import capabilities from the old version would be so perfect.

haha, that will be me. Anyway, after a lot of consideration. I will migrate my DNN production site to a new server that support .NET 3.5, once DNN 5.0 is ready to run on production site.

After all, you can't just being pull back by Obsolete users like me. :) We have to catch up the technology, although it cost a lot...

Secondly, I would agree too if it will release as a new module. For the "import / conversion from 3.+" it seems not so useful for me if 4.0 has whole new functions that 3.+ don't have. However, being able to import / export as xml or csv will be great. (Can work as RSS feed too maybe?)

Once again, Thank you so much Steve!

 

George.



Thanks,
George

We will have a new portal open to public sometime next week.  We need to add some fields when user upload files.  It will be nice to have Repository version 4.   When will it release exactly?
