Sitefinity 6

Questions for Sitefinity 6 release

Thought I'd start off with a general question about SF 6.

Will the Hierarchical Libraries for the Libraries module be displayed on the downloads list module once placed into the site? We are currently in need of a better downloads format with hierarchical tree and user controlled filters (like most current, A-Z, most downloaded, etc).

thanks, Scott

Was speed addressed in the latest version? Version 5 performed much slower than the 3.7 instance from which we upgraded. Our client keeps asking us to figure out how to speed it back up, and we have tried all the suggestions in the forum. Any help would be great!

Hello guys,

@Scott - Unfortunately, we didn't have the time to improve the front end widgets. We just extended the default download list, so that it can list files from the currently selected library plus all of its sub-libraries. The documents are displayed in a flat list tough. We'll improve this. 

@Andrew - 5.x was greatly optimized in performance aspects, especially version 5.4. For example, start-up times, and working with the back-end are much better than the 3.x version. I suggest you raising a support ticket - we'll help you with checking the performance.
