Sitefinity ORM Version for Official Release

Hi,

I am starting to work on a new project targetted at Sitefinity 4.0. The Open Access version used by Sitefinity 4.0 RC2 is behind by couple of releases and I've read somewhere that telerik team is trying to get Sitefinity 4.0 to use the latest version for the official release.

Is that true? Will the Sitefinity support the latest version of Open Access with official release or is it something that will be supported in the future?

Thanks

Hi Larry,

We will not be able to update the OA version for the official release. This is one of the first things that we will start doing after the release. Actually the process is not just replacing the dlls and we will need some time.

Kind regards,

Hi,

How do I download the version of the ORM that Sitefinity 4 uses and the RadControls. In my product downloads I see version 2010.3.

With regards,

Matthew

Hi Mitchel,

We use specific version of Open Access  - 2010.2.1013 which is a custom build. If you have custom modules  you need to reference Open Access shipped with Sitefinity, otherwise some problems might appear and you might not be able to process compiled assemblies to add  persistence capability.
After the official release we will update the OA version and try to synchronize it with the OA regular builds.

If you install Sitefinity's SDK you can use our Open Access version - 2010.2.1013 and you should get all needed reference in Visual Studio.

Kind regards,
Ivan Dimitrov
