• DotNetNuke currently has 2 types of folder permissions in the open core, READ and WRITE. The READ permission actually serves 2 purposes. First, it defines whether a role or user is able to open/view the files located in a folder. Second, it defines whether a role or user is able to browse the list of files within a folder. Sometimes these 2 purposes are not in alignment with one another. For example, it is possible that you may want All Users to be able to open files in folder if they have the full URL; however, you may not want All Users to be able to browse a listing of all the files in the folder ( beecause exposing the full paths to all files may be a security concern ). Windows IIS deals with this issue by including 3 types of permissions for folders: Read, Write, and Browse Directory. DotNetNuke could benefit by having a browse directory permission on folders as well.

• Added support for Internet Explorer 8 Web Slices.  Administrators can configure any module to use IE8 Web Slices including the ability to set time-to-live and expiration values.
• Removed distinction between admin modules and pages and normal pages.  This allows administrators to easily delegate access to any portion of the application to any group of users.
• Updated the installation services to support manifest files for all extension types.  Now skins, containers, providers and modules are all first class citizens that can be installed and uninstalled.
• Expanded XHTML, WCAG and ADA compliance.
• Refactored core to improve support for Unit Testing.  Refactored several core classes to use interfaces and added a simple component factory to provide dependency injection support.
