DotNetNuke.com can't run on 4.9.1 yet it is available for download.  Come on, seriously.

 

I think this may be the very first time we have not actually dogfooded a release prior to public distribution.  Murphy's Law apparently still rules, although it would be highly inaccurate to imply that effort had been spared testing.  One area of testing that is commonly troublesome (even in large organizations) is stress testing.  Traditionally, our "fiscally conservative" stress testing has occurred in the form of dogfooding (the only place we can testbed sufficient volume)... it is unfortunate that this did not occur for 4.9.1.  Other testing would indicate that sites with more modest traffic should not be substantially affected.  We are keenly aware of the need for a more strucutred performance testing benchmark for the Community Edition.

 

So what's DNN corp's policy... use the latest *stable* version? When will dotnetnuke.com use 5.0 and which first version of 5.0 be considered stable? 5.0.1?

Alex, I laughed at that.  :)

Scott why did you mention Community Edition?  What does that imply?  I guess that it implies 4.9.x will be more tested and supported.   That gives me a bad feeling about 5.0.x then.

I'm running 4.9.1 on a new install and it seems to be ok.   However, 5.0.0 is not ready IMO (sorry to say that).   I have not attempted to upgrade to 4.9.1 and am hesitant.  I guess I need to.

I do wish my question about what is DotNetNuke.com at this point, a new 4.9.0 or a result of various upgrades.   I also wouldn't mind knowing how many test upgrades were performed before release to get to 5.0.0 and what were those paths?    As I mentioned, I'd guess most users are running a result of at least 4 or 5 upgrades already.   Based on my upgrade experience, I'm guessing enough tests were not run.   I also base that opinion on DotNetNuke.com still running 4.9.0.

I offer my 20+ installs as a test bed in the core would like information on my issues.   I don't want anyone to have issues and want to assist.

Thanks.

BTW, dnn.com is not dotnetnuke related.

 

so my sense is that if you upgrade from 4.9.x to 5.0, you will have issues.

If it's a fresh 5.0 install, you *should* be ok. I did a fresh 5.0 install with lots of skins and modules and they went ok. I am still sniffing around for reports of major issues.
