DNN Community Edition 4.9.4 Released 

In a somewhat surprising move (at least for me), DNN Corp published yet another “minor stabilization release for the 4.x codebase.” According to Joe Brinkman, CE 4.9.4 fixes a module caching flaw and improves performance of the FormatRemoveSQL method. 2 low priority security issues were corrected as well. Besides maintaining 4.x, DNN Corp also released a public beta of DNN 5.1. Please contribute to the upcoming release by downloading, testing, and discussing the beta as well as logging bugs in the public issue tracker.

As you can see, there is lots going on in and around DotNetNuke. I’ve got a week of upgrades ahead of me while continuing to “push every button” of the 5.1 beta. What are you doing with DotNetNuke? Please share in the comments.
