The upgrade from 1.6.0 to 2.0 works like a charm.
When I noticed 2.0 is ready for the public, I was implementing my own 1.6.0 recaptcha feature.
I love my new recaptcha so well for a while (At least 3 days I promise).
This afternoon I got some spare time. Uh, what the hell, so I downloaded the 2.0 source code from codeplex and decide to give it a try.
Of course, it’s not 2 hour job just like a snap.
I have to transfer my previous version c# code changes (mainly for file & image external links handling); copy/paste the app_data (don’t forget apply proper IIS user access rights to it). I also did some theme customizations (for the login and search features).
all these changes were smooth and worked like a charm in the test environment.
I turned on the simple captcha function which is a built-in feature of 2.0 (implemented by this guy). This feature is so easy to use, much easier than my 1.6.0 implementation. But I still have to observe how good as it goes, so my old implementation will still stay as a backup for a while.
Anyway, thank you blogengine team. Big salute to you all.
