Wow - what an amazing coup - getting two versions of the dotnetnuke application framework released in the same day.
I have been waiting for the 3.2 release for a while, it will have a new client api that supports AJAX style calls in a simple manner.
So, it was a pleasant suprise to get the first ever edition of the dotnetnuke newsletter today, section below, announcing the 3.2 release.
But wait folks, that not all, we also get DNN V 4.0, that builds against the newly released dot net 2.0, and I imagine VS 2005 (sure to be some new twists with builds and debugging, etc.)
I just love the level of support that the open source team provides. This blows away almost anything that I have seen in the commercial software world.
Cheers to the DNN Core Team, the many sub-projects, and the VS 2005 team!!

"Platform upgrades represent a significant challenge to any professional software product," said Shaun Walker, DotNetNuke creator and maintainer. "By pledging continued commitment for the DotNetNuke 3.x ( ASP.NET 1.1 ) code base while at the same time forging ahead with a DotNetNuke 4.0 ( ASP.NET 2.0 ) offering, I feel confident that we are delivering the maximum benefit to all community stakeholders. I am grateful for the assistance provided by the Microsoft Web Platform and Tools Team which enabled us to achieve these goals."
DotNetNuke 3.2 continues to build on its rock solid ASP.NET 1.1 heritage, providing additional stability, security, and performance improvements as well as a number of key framework enhancements. DotNetNuke 4.0 ushers in a new project era, delivering parallel functionality to DotNetNuke 3.2, and providing the potential to utilize the full power of the exciting new ASP.NET 2.0 platform. |
