Noteworthy Changes in v9.8.0

Optional Telerik Removal

The major highlight for the DNN 9.8.0 release (and above for the 9.x series of releases) is that we removed all our dependencies on the Telerik library. In order to not make this a breaking change, we do leave Telerik removal as a manual option until v10. The main components that still relied on Telerik were Site Assets and Global Assets, which used the Digital Assets Manager. We ship a new file manager with v9.8.0 (and above for the 9.x series of releases) that has no dependencies on Telerik, but it is not installed by default so that it will not break existing sites upon upgrading. Please note it will be automatically replaced in v10, so please test and plan accordingly.

To identify any third-party extension(s) that depend on Telerik, our very own Mitchel Sellers has published the DNN Telerik Identifier module which you can download and install to find assemblies that reference Telerik. Carefully review the results from this module to determine if your website is ready for full removal of Telerik. For any third-party modules that depend on Telerik, you should contact the module vendor/developer before following the steps below.

If you would like to remove Telerik in DNN 9.8.0 (and above for the 9.x series of releases), please visit the "Telerik Removal" documentation on DNN Docs. Again, proceed with caution based on your findings using the DNN Telerik Identifier module above, as performing these steps may also break third-party extensions that depend on Telerik. We recommend you contact the developer/vendor in these cases for further guidance.
