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.
