Version 4.0.4.1 is out

Friday, May 21, 2010 by Administrator

A new update of Umbraco 4 is out - v4.0.4.1 - fixing 13 issues based on feedback from 4.0.3 users. Full download and upgrade instructions on Codeplex. We expect 4.0.4.1 to be available from the Microsoft Web Platform Installer within a week.

Most importantly is a fix to a serious date bug where day and month could be flipped when using non English cultures. Also fixes to issues mostly related to high performance websites have been included. Lastly, using Members via /base is now back to full support. All the details is in the release notes pdf under "Other Available Downloads".

In addition to these bugfixes, VistaDB has been removed from the default distribution due to licensing conflicts. We're working on a future alternative as this was a great feature - especially for people trying Umbraco for the first time without installing from Microsoft Web Platform Installer.

This release had the honor of being know is Umbraco version not found, due to its original name version 4.0.4 when it was released yesterday. However, Darren Ferguson almost immediately discovered a bug which we fixed yesterday evening. So nemesis would be that Umbraco Version Not Found, indeed only were discoverable for less than a day.

Thank you to the community for feedback and especially Darren Ferguson - maker of the brilliant PDF Creator for Umbraco btw - to help identify this bug quickly.

If you've already upgraded to 4.0.4 you can upgrade to 4.0.4.1 by simply replacing umbraco.dll and businesslogic.dll in the /bin folder. Sorry for any inconvenience - even a UnitTest wouldn't had found this bug so could you forgive us even with ALT.NET in your blood?

    Usually this is due to a permissions problem. Just check that you have full write permission on umbraco folders, as stated in the webdeploy guide, because sometimes copying files can reset permissions.
