Should I upgrade to the latest version of DotNetNuke?
When you log in to your site, you may see an “Updates Available” graphic like these at the top of the Control Panel: These indicate that there is a DotNetNuke update or critical update available for download from the DotNetNuke website. Like most computer software, DotNetNuke frequently comes out with minor and major upgrades and security updates. These updates often fix obscure, but significant problems. It is a good idea to upgrade to the latest stable version periodically (just like with any software program you use on a regular basis). However, if you installed every new release that comes out, you’d be upgrading every month or so – not usually a desirable thing.
