Ladies and Gentlemen, raise your glasses and head over to codeplex to download the result of 18 months of amazing work by the core team. In other words, we proudly present the release of Umbraco 4!

The ultra solid release of Umbraco is raising the bar in the Web CMS industry. The stability, the clean and user friendly UI, the beautiful and simple Canvas editing, the inclusion of community work, the integration to the .NET framework and the absolutely control over markup is second to none.

A massive, massive thanks to the coreteam and to our fabulous community who've helped with testing the past six months!

Now, it's time for celebration. Anyone who fancy are welcome to join us at Chainbox tonight. They got free beers from 20.00 and we'll be joining around 23.00.

Time to party!

    Well done guys!

    Could you publish where all the upgrade path instructions are. I've found 4RC1 -> 4RC2 but then they disappeared?

    V3 -> V4
    V4RCx -> V4 [Release]

    Thanks

    Wehay! Congratulations. We've been using Umbraco since v2 and have loved being involved in such a great community and I can't wait to start to use v4 in anger! Would love the beer, but stuck in the UK. Maybe I'll join you for v5.

    Thanks

    It looks really good, but I'm having trouble upgrading.

    When will there be an "upgrade umbraco 3 to umbraco 4" guide? Or where is it?

  14. Gravatar ImageNiels Brinch Says:

    To anyone else with the same question, I've found this previous blog post which explains how to upgrade:
