So you are excited about DotNetNuke 6, yes? No? Well you should be! It was released today. If you are excited about the new TextProvider, the RadEditorProvider then you are going to love DotNetNuke 6. Unless of course you are doing an upgrade, then unfortunately you won’t get the provider!
Why? Well, unfortunately a slight oversight in the packaging process missed the RadEditorProvider in the Upgrade package. But never fear, the fix is simple!

Big thangs baby, today is a big day in the world of .NET. DotNetNuke 6 has been released. I won’t go into all of the details, Joe Brinkman has done that with a blog post over on DotNetNuke.com, but I will cover some of the highlights.
First though, a little Too Short – Big Thangs (lyrics NSFW, and may be offensive, it is rap, get over it)

I won’t regurgitate all of Joe Brinkman’s blog post announcing the fact that DotNetNuke 5.6.1 was released today.
There are a couple of new features added, Razor support, and better Portal Alias handling. There are a number of bug fixes, and even some security fixes included so I would encourage you to check it out, upgrade your sites in a test environment then get your production sites upgraded.
If you have never upgraded a DotNetNuke website it is actually pretty darn easy to do. Check out some upgrade instructions in the DotNetNuke Wiki, and check out the video below.
you should always backup the files and database before you perform maintenance on a site

So perhaps you just upgraded to the new version of DotNetNuke, V05.04.00 but you aren’t seeing the new features that are available in the Community Edition of the platform (The Telerik RAD Editor and the Ribbon Control Panel).
That is because the features are only enabled by default for new installs, the upgrade doesn’t turn them on, so I’m here to show you how! It’s pretty easy, but I always recommend you backup your website and database before you make any major changes. While these two changes are pretty minor, it’s better to be safe than sorry!

This is a new post, based on information I originally posted on my blog at DotNetNuke.com a few years ago. Upgrading DotNetNuke is actually fairly easy, you can do so with ease in most cases, though occasionally you may run into a problem or two. If you follow the steps below you should be able to recover from any issues and get your website back up and running in its original state.

So a turkey day treat has been bestowed upon us, I hope you weren’t planning on eating all day tomorrow and not getting any work done! DotNetNuke 05.02.00 was released late on 11/25/2009, so you can run off to DotNetNuke.com now and get it!
