Release Notes

We'd like to first thank everyone from the community who has submitted pull requests or reported issues. A grand total of 48 pull requests by 16 contributors were processed for this release.

Noteworthy Changes in v9.9.0

Optional Telerik Removal

If you would like to remove Telerik in DNN 9.8.0 (and above for the 9.x series of releases), please visit the documentation for "Telerik Removal" on the DNN Docs site. This is optional but HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Special Attention

  • New mail provider support

    As part of 9.9.0 we are introducing mail providers. By default the same existing mail provider is configured and there should be no changes needed.

    If you want to use the new MailKit provider (which has different support, namely it has better support for Office 365 mail), you can edit your web.config file as such:

    -<mail defaultProvider="CoreMailProvider">
+<mail defaultProvider="MailKitMailProvider">
  <providers>
    <clear />
    <add name="CoreMailProvider" type="DotNetNuke.Services.Mail.CoreMailProvider, DotNetNuke" hideCoreSettings="False" />
    <add name="MailKitMailProvider" type="DotNetNuke.Services.Mail.MailKitMailProvider, DotNetNuke" hideCoreSettings="False" />
  </providers>
</mail>

Noteworthy Changes in v9.8.0

Optional Telerik Removal

The major highlight for the DNN 9.8.0 release (and above for the 9.x series of releases) is that we removed all our dependencies on the Telerik library. In order to not make this a breaking change, we do leave Telerik removal as a manual option until v10. The main components that still relied on Telerik were Site Assets and Global Assets, which used the Digital Assets Manager. We ship a new file manager with v9.8.0 (and above for the 9.x series of releases) that has no dependencies on Telerik, but it is not installed by default so that it will not break existing sites upon upgrading. Please note it will be automatically replaced in v10, so please test and plan accordingly.

To identify any third-party extension(s) that depend on Telerik, our very own Mitchel Sellers has published the DNN Telerik Identifier module which you can download and install to find assemblies that reference Telerik. Carefully review the results from this module to determine if your website is ready for full removal of Telerik. For any third-party modules that depend on Telerik, you should contact the module vendor/developer before following the steps below.

If you would like to remove Telerik in DNN 9.8.0 (and above for the 9.x series of releases), please visit the "Telerik Removal" documentation on DNN Docs. Again, proceed with caution based on your findings using the DNN Telerik Identifier module above, as performing these steps may also break third-party extensions that depend on Telerik. We recommend you contact the developer/vendor in these cases for further guidance.

If you want in v9.8.0 to remove the Telerik library, here are the steps to do so (please note this may also break any other 3rd party module that depends on Telerik):

  1. Take a full backup of the site and database.
  2. In Extensions > Available Extensions > Modules : Install the Resource Manager module.
  3. Navigate to Site Assets, remove the Digital Assets manager module from the page, insert an instance of the Resource Manager.
  4. Repeat step 3 but for the Global Assets page.
  5. In SQL Console Run the following command:
UPDATE {databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}Packages
SET IsSystemPackage = 0
WHERE Name IN ('DigitalAssetsManagement', 'DotNetNuke.Telerik.Web', 'DotNetNuke.Web.Deprecated', 'DotNetNuke.Website.Deprecated')
  1. Go to Servers and Clear cache.
  2. In Extensions > Modules , uninstall Digital Assets Manager (Tick delete files).
  3. In Extensions > Libraries, uninstall DotNetNuke Telerik Web Components (Tick delete files).
  4. In Extensions > Libraries, uninstall DNN Deprecated Web Controls Library (Tick delete files).
  5. In Extensions > Libraries, uninstall DotNetNuke Deprecated Website Codebehind files (Tick delete files).
  6. Open the web.config file and search for Telerik, delete any lines that reference it.
  7. Verify in bin folder, there is no dlls including the word Telerik.
  8. Test your 3rd party modules to make sure they still work without Telerik.

Release Notes

We'd like to first thank everyone from the community who has submitted pull requests or reported issues. A grand total of 17 pull requests by 9 contributors were processed for this release.

Known issue

There is currently a known issue with Dnn 9.7.1 that affects token replace providers.

If you are doing a clean 9.7.1 install

No workaround needed, the normal install works fine.

If you are upgrading from 9.7.0 to 9.7.1

Nothing special is needed, this upgrade path will work.

If you are upgrading from any version before 9.7.0

  • Unzip the upgrade zip and add an empty text file named 09.07.00.SqlDataProvider in the Providers\DataProviders\SqlDataProvider folder.
  • Continue the upgrade as usual

If you have already upgraded to 9.7.1 before encountering this issue

  • Find the web.config file that is located in the root folder of the installation.
  • Create a copy of this file as a backup just in case.
  • Open the original web.config file that is in the root files of the installation in any text editor.
  • In the <sectionGroup name="dotnetnuke"> section add the following line:
<section name="tokens" requirePermission="false" type="DotNetNuke.Framework.Providers.ProviderConfigurationHandler, DotNetNuke" />
  • In the <dotnetnuke> section, add the following lines :
<tokens defaultProvider="CoreTokenProvider">
      <providers>
        <clear />
        <add name="CoreTokenProvider" type="DotNetNuke.Services.Tokens.CoreTokenProvider, DotNetNuke" />
      </providers>
    </tokens>

Additional information

Token replace providers are a recent feature (Dnn 9.7.0) and is probably not yet used by many 3rd party modules. But if you do see other configured providers for tokens, you may want to consult with the 3rd party module vendor for instructions on how to best merge this config with theirs.

Noteworthy Changes in v9.7.0

Potential breaking changes

There is a small potential breaking change if you use custom email templates, please read carefully the comments on #3808 if that is the case for your sites it is just a matter of adjusting those templates.

New issue management, milestones and roadmap

In our roadmap, Dnn 9.7.0 was to be our next release and include a new file manager. While we are still working on this new file manager we have also received a good mix of bugfixes and new features as pull requests. Because we were aiming at 9.7.0 we did not separate the bug fixes from the new features and the new file manager is not yet fully complete. This brought us to a decision point of holding bugfixes for longer or simply releasing and pushing the file manager to 9.8.0. After some discussions we realized that it is hard to work with specifically versioned milestones when we cannot know in advance which contributions will come in.

We have reworked our process to manage issues. Up until now we were trying to assign issues to a specific version number where it could go in providing someone would contribute a pull request to resolve it. This process was inefficient and on each new release we had to reassign every single unresolved issue to a new specific version. We will now use milestones for specific version numbers on pull requests only. For issues, we created new milesones as follows:

  • Future: Major - Issues that represent a breaking change that will go into a major release (e.g., major.minor.patch).

  • Future: Minor - Issues that represent a non-breaking feature that will go into a minor release (e.g., major.minor.patch).

  • Future: Patch - Issues that represent a bug fix, or non-breaking enhancement, that will go into a patch release (e.g., major.minor.patch).

We hope this process will bring better flexibility, we can decide on the version number just before release. We will in the future always assume that we will do a bugfix (patch) release and only switch to a minor release if we do have a new feature ready and merged.
