Noteworthy Changes in v9.8.0

Optional Telerik Removal

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

To help you try to identify if you have any other 3rd party extension that depends on Telerik, our very own @mitchelsellers has published the Dnn Telerik Identitier module which you can download and install to try and list all assemblies that reference Telerik.

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.

Testing special attention

Although any testing is welcome specially in RC releases, we suggest to give special attention to the following areas:

  • jQuery was updated in this release, although this is not expected to be a breaking change, please do test your custom solutions with this release.
  • This release should fix issues in the MVC module pipeline, testing your own MVC modules with this release would be a good idea specially if you use Dependency Injection.
  • Multiple issues that where fixed relate to SSL Offloading, if you run in this kind of environment, your testing would be welcome.
