There has been numerous reports on random NULL reference bugs with v3, especially on unstable shared hosts or on servers with many umbraco sites. We finally found the bug which is related to cache references and are currently testing on a larger number of sites. We'll commit the changes Tuesday this week to the source repository on CodePlex and release a patch version 3.0.4 this week (unfortunately we can't easily add the source to the repo right now due to 3.1 dev being the main branch on cp. We'll add the full source code as a separate download to the release).

Sorry for the inconvenience, but the patch is an easy, non-destructive, assemblies only update which should only take a few minutes and won't affect your site in any way (other than obviously get rid of the NULL reference bugs).

    Hi Niels

    Can't find an update for this problem on Codeplex yet? [Wednesday].

    Also an old issue for me: Still no documentation on using Livewriter or Word for website update. I really think documentation is becoming an issue. No point in having all these great additions to umbraco if we don't know how to use them. The forum is great but it's not a subsitiute.

    Sorry if I'm ranting but it's such a great product and I would hate to see people not using it to it's full. I'm trying to be constructive!!

    Keep up your great work.

    Ken

    @Ken: I've updated the post - unfortunately, it's not easy to add the changes to the 3.0.x branch as the source repo now mainly runs the 3.1 branch :-(

    Regarding documentation, there's loads of significant improvements coming over the next couple of months which will finally add a very satisfying level of documentation to umbraco. Look for updates next month.

    Hope this helps!

    btw: I think it's fair to rant and I'm looking very much forward to be able to reveal more details on the work going on.
