You've seen the preview and you've heard the reviews.  DotNetNuke 6.0 has been released!  It is the greatest thing since sliced bread but there is one question you need answered:  Should you upgrade your site?

There's a short but easy answer to that question:

Yes!  But not yet.

Even though DotNetNuke 6.0 is the most tested version of DotNetNuke ever, it purposefully introduces subtle hardening to the security infrastructure in order to make DotNetNuke a more secure application.  Unfortunately, some third party modules take advantage of the formerly lax security in order to implement certain features.  Because of this, when upgrading to 6.0, you may have to also upgrade certain third party modules along with it.  Because 6.0 is so new, not all module vendors have updated their components to be compatible with it so, if you upgrade right away, you may find yourself in a situation where you need to upgrade to a 6.0 compatible version of a module but one does not exist yet.

If you are currently running a DotNetNuke website, we recommend waiting a few months while all of the module vendors update their modules to be compatible with DotNetNuke 6.0.

Once we're confident that a majority of the ecosystem vendors have 6.0 compatible versions of their modules, we will let you know!
