07.02.00 Release Notes

What's New for 7.2.0

DNN 7.2.0 includes a number of new features and enhancements that will benefit users and developers alike along with a large number of bug fixes. Enhancements can be broadly broken down into two categories: 1) Application Features 2) Developer Features

Application Features

Responsive Design Skin

The Gravity skin was redesigned to use the Bootstrap framework which provides for a fully responsive design out of the box.

SQL Module

The SQL module has undergone a complete overhaul in 7.2.0 including a new editor and updated query results pane.

Module Creator

The DNN Module Creator has been incorporated directly into DNN making it easier than ever to get started writing your new DNN extension.

User Search

The DNN Search has been extended in 7.2.0 to include the ability to search users and user profiles (this feature is easily disabled for those who would prefer not to use it).

Developer Features

JavaScript Library Management

DNN 7.2.0 allows you to install JavaScript libraries as first party extensions. Once installed your module or skin can request that JavaScript library and the platform will automatically add the library into the page. The API mirrors the one used for jQuery and JQuery UI making it very easy to use.

Code Editor

The new CodeMirror code editor component has been added to DNN to provide a full syntax highlighting code editor when needed. Module developers can incorporate this feature with just a few lines of JavaScript.

NOTE: Official release packages can be downloaded from CodePlex.
