Release v.7 has shipped!

Release Notes for App Builder 1.7 and DNN Sharp 5.7.x modules

Release Notes

Noteworthy Changes in v1.7

  • Several fixes and small enhancements from the Support Center
  • Hundreds of new icons via Font Awesome 5.14
  • DNN 9.6.1 as default on hosted Plant an App installs

Known Breaking Changes

Some Font Awesome 4 Fonts are deprecated

After upgrading module(s) that support Font Awesome icons to version 05.07.00 (and above), you may notice that some of your fonts are no longer displayed.
This is easily corrected by editing the module and re-specifying an icon. In many cases, the same font is still available but has a slightly different name, but in some cases, the font has been deprecated by Font Awesome. Please don't fret, with over 1500 fonts to choose from in Font Awesome 5; we're confident your app, form, tab, a button will shine brighter than ever.
To explore the complete listing of available fonts (including over 50 that are designed specifically for COVID-19 awareness), check out the latest Font Awesome 5 changelog
