Hi Jack,
The failure was due to a number of small things, and one large thing. The release process identified a number of issues, many around localisation, which are mostly logged in the tracker. Sebastian (who did the localisation testing), gave a detailed list to us offline so those aren't logged. These are the small things...
Because we also make the code available via www.DNNEvents.com, we also had bugs reported through these forums. This identified a major problem with use in portals otherthan portal '0'. This is the major thing...
Consequently we asked for it to be failed in the tracker.
We are most of the way through fixing all the issues, there are just a couple of minor localisation items to tackle. However as always, work commitments and holidays get in the way, so I would personally expect this to be a 2-3 weeks before we get it back in the release process, and available on the beta site again. Do not take this as any sort of firm commitment!!
The new release will be version 5.0.1, and will be upgradeable to from earlier releases.
Cheers
Roger
