   Security Releases  :  As of this writing, a number of security point releases (for example, 4.8.3 and 
4.8.4) where completed to resolve security issues identified in prior versions of the framework. 
Because of the security issues resolved in these versions, DotNetNuke Corporation strongly 
recommended that users upgrade to the most current point version to resolve any potential 
security concerns. For detailed information regarding security notices and other security 
concerns, visit the DotNetNuke Security Policy page at

   Version 4.9.0  :  Released September 2008, version 4.9.0 provided a few additional security fixes, 
as well as a few back - ported features from the upcoming 5.0 release. Special items to note in this 
release include a new default skin and an updated version of the FCK editor control providing 
support for the Safari browser.     
  5.x Versions 
 The DotNetNuke 5.x platform includes many major enhancements to the core DotNetNuke system. This 
includes a unified package system for modules, skin objects, skins, and more, as well as separation of 
core administration modules to provide users with greater flexibility in site management than was 
possible in prior versions.     
    
 As of this writing, the exact date of the first 5.x release is unknown, but it is likely to 
be available by the time you read this. All topics covered in this book relate to the 
5.x version. Differences between the 5.x version and previous versions are pointed

  Packages Explained 
 Each version of DotNetNuke contains four different packages that may be downloaded for use.

and developing for DotNetNuke. The following sections explain the differences between the packages, 
as well as the factors governing when each should be used.

.vsi)
  used to add DotNetNuke - specific templates to 
your Visual Studio installation. You can find more detailed information on Visual Studio Installer
