2sxc v20 cleans up a lot of history, so it has breaking changes.
These mainly affect old code, so they should only affect DNN installations which have old code on it, or used old samples to develop Razor.

Read about it in the blog: https://go.2sxc.org/v20

See also the docs with all the changes and breaking changes

v20.00.09 has a lot of changes, enhancements and more, but most of it is hidden in the background, for the upcoming v21 release.

Possibly Breaking Changes

  1. Global extension fields (for the edit UI) are now in /extensions and not system any more.
    This may affect you if you were loading the GPS/WYSIWYG manually, or had custom extensions in the old path.

    4. 🧩 Feature to install an extension incl. drag & drop
    5. 🧩 Feature to check if an installed extension was modified (for safer upgrading)
    6. 🧩 Feature to delete an installed extension
    7. 🧩 Extension Settings and language Resources
    8. 🧩 Extensions can now be installed in multiple editions
    9. 🧩 Extensions with input-types and multiple editions will load staging if user is developer/host
    10. 🧩 Extensions have a lot of properties and links shown in the quick overview
  2. ☢️ Stabilizing DNN CSHTML compiler caching and PDB preservation for better debugging
  3. 🌪️ Queries: Published many more System queries which were previously secret, such as System.ContentTypes, etc. see

    2. $filter support for basic filters (eq, ne, gt, lt, ge, le, startsWith, not startsWith, contains, not contains)
    3. $orderby support
  6. 💃🏼 Major: Template Service can now create templated entities.
  7. 🧑🏼‍✈️ Data Copilot: Ability to configure in detail what should be generated and how (specify alternate folders, namespaces, etc.)

Minor Enhancements

  1. 🔳 Toolbar: Ability to combine toolbar on a entity-field with Copy to add copies of data to a list
  2. ✏️🔳 Toolbar & Edit UI: Introduce UiFields() on toolbar button Tweak
  3. ⚙️ Admin UI: Show more info about fields (such as read-only, required etc. in addition to has-formula)
  4. 🌍 Language: Restore Translate All/Link All feature (had been gone for more than 1 year and nobody noticed)
  5. ✏️ Edit UI: Improve paste-as-text in WYSIWYG
  6. 🖼️ Improve Image Service so it knows about Bootstrap if added through Kit.Page.Activate(...) (otherwise image resize/class is off when used in a skin without bootstrap)
  7. 🌪️ DataSource: ContentType DataSource can now accept Scope of * to search through all scopes

  6. 🪲 🌍 Edit UI: Translate buttons blocked access to some other buttons on entity-pickers
  7. 🪲 ☢️ DNN: When code in DNN triggered an HTTP Redirect, it previously logged an exception in DNN
  8. 🪲 Minor: fix time zone info in edit-entity-history
  9. 🪲 Minor: fix colors of inner-content toolbar
  10. 🪲 Minor: fix / enhance Tokens, so multiple fallback-tokens work (previously only 1 was possible)

Internal Changes

  1. Experimenting with delayed loading of AppCode dll because it may cause issues with anti-virus locking the file at first compile
  2. Edit UI Improved SASS to latest standards
  3. API renaming: shorten noParameterOrder to npo as the type already indicates what it is
  4. Maintenance: get rid of obsolete warning IHostingEnvironment
