Important Note About Upgrading to DNN 9.6.1

While the modules in this release have been tested against prior versions of DNN, they are optimized for DNN 9.6.1. Prior to upgrading to DNN 9.6.1 please make sure you have backed up your instance and updated all DNN Sharp modules to their latest 5.6.x version or you may experience issues as DNN 9.6 has breaking changes that are not compatible with prior versions of our products.
For additional and ongoing information check out our, Upgrading to DNN 9.6.1 Blogpost.

Known Issues

API Endpoint

After upgrading a DNN Sharp module(s) that uses the 'Execute API Method' action to version 05.06.00 (and above), existing calls to that action will look like they have lost the value for the 'API Method' setting. The good news is that they have not been lost and your actions will still work fine.
The display value not showing can be corrected by editing the action and re-selecting the original API Method from the dropdown list.
We apologize for this inconvenience and give our assurance that this is a one-time upgrade issue. It is not DNN 9.6 related and will occur on older versions of DNN as well.
Note: This does not impact the 'Server Request' action.
