Hi!

I hadn't visited DNN web site in for a while, and was glad to find that DNN 5.0 had been launched.

However, I must be missing something, because I could not find any article or data explaining the differences between 4.x and 5.x, nor the advantages, new or missing features or modules either, etc.

I must say that I did not read the downloadable documentation, but I expected a grand launch anouncementet, with fireworks and all!... and I found barely five lines commentnig on 5.x instead (in the download section)...

I need to decide whether I should stick to 4.x for now or jump to 5.x, and  for that I need to know the advangaes, differences, and most of all, a feature/module comparison. Also know how compatible 5.x is regarding the "official" DNN existing modules, and the 3rd party (commercial or free) modules compatibility, too.

Where can I find that info? any newsletter or web press publication? a forum thread? where's the 5.x (or its modules) project pages?

Thanks in advance!

         Adrián

PS: btw, has the forum mail notification been fixed, or should I come to the forum to check for answers?

Heres the relevant blog post : http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/Blogs/tabid/825/EntryId/2122/DotNetNuke-5-0-0-Released.aspx . Charles also has a series of posts describing architectural changes @ http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/Blogs/tabid/825/BlogID/15/Default.aspx , plus Timo discusses skinning changes (he's updating the skinning doc at the moment) - http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/Blogs/tabid/825/EntryId/2124/Info-on-DNN-5-skinning-and-skins.aspx

You can always see the changes in a version via the changelog - http://support.dotnetnuke.com/project/ChangeLog.aspx?PROJID=2, and what's in the next release via the roadmap - http://support.dotnetnuke.com/project/RoadMap.aspx?PROJID=2 . There are a number of issues with 5.0, that have been rectified by 5.0.1 which is near to release, so you may want to want.

Also, a few versions back we added a "what's new" module which lists what's new per version.
