The release of DNN Platform 10.0.0 marks a major step forward for the CMS, embracing a cleaner, more modern architecture. This release brings real benefits - improved performance, tighter security, and long-term platform stability - but also requires careful planning for anyone considering an upgrade.

At DyNNamite, we have followed the development of DNN 10 closely and are fully prepared to support our clients through the transition.

Why DNN 10 Matters

This version strips out legacy code and finally drops support for the old .NET Framework. While that’s a big win for performance and future-proofing, it does mean that older modules, themes, or custom features may no longer function as expected.

The benefits of DNN 10 include:

• Full alignment with modern .NET (Core) development
• A leaner, more secure platform with reduced technical debt
• Better support for API-driven and headless site architectures
• Improved compatibility with modern hosting environments

What You Need to Know Before Upgrading

Before making the leap to DNN 10, it’s important to:

• Audit your current installation – identify any custom or third-party code
• Check extension compatibility – ensure all modules and themes will work 
• Have a rollback plan – in case unexpected issues arise during upgrade

This is not a routine version update, but more of a significant overhaul. That is where our expertise comes in.
