&lt;h2&gt;New features in this release&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;b&gt;New Features&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Changed the packages to use OSVersion=3 by default: Windows Server 2012 and IIS 8&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Added Support for active and passive FTP. You can enable it in the wizard on the remote option settings step&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Added a new package supporting co-located cache. Note that you still will need a DNN caching provider that implements it.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Changed IIS 8 settings to use site pre-load&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Changed the appPool Startup mode to AlwaysRunning (see this &lt;a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vijaysk/archive/2012/10/11/iis-8-what-s-new-website-settings.aspx"&gt;http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vijaysk/archive/2012/10/11/iis-8-what-s-new-website-settings.aspx&lt;/a&gt; for more info)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Modified all the packages to support High Availability&lt;/b&gt;: now you can safely increase or decrease the number of role instances serving the website. The VHD drive will be dinamically attached, shared and connected between all the workers. The process will recover from failures when the VM acting as SMB server goes down for whatever reason.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Support for App_Offline to do safer DNN upgrades stopping incoming webrequests. When you change the configuration setting &amp;quot;AppOffline.Enabled&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;true&amp;quot;, the site will appear as offline but will be published on port 12242. You can then run the upgrade on that port (portal aliases will be dinamically added). After finishing the upgrade, set the &amp;quot;AppOffline.Enabled&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;false&amp;quot; to re-enable the site. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;App_Offline file can be customized by dropping an HTML file on &amp;quot;/Portals/_default/App_Offline.htm&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Added a new step in the wizard to setup SSL configuration, allowing to upload the SSL certificate and CA&amp;#39;s certificates&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Now you can reload the packages in the wizard without having to restart the process&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The last subscription used will be the default one when launching again the wizard&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

The process will recover from failures when the VM acting as SMB server goes down for whatever reason.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Support for App_Offline to do safer DNN upgrades stopping incoming webrequests. When you change the configuration setting &amp;quot;AppOffline.Enabled&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;true&amp;quot;, the site will appear as offline but will be published on port 12242. You can then run the upgrade on that port (portal aliases will be dinamically added). After finishing the upgrade, set the &amp;quot;AppOffline.Enabled&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;false&amp;quot; to re-enable the site. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;App&lt;i&gt;Offline file can be customized by dropping an HTML file on &amp;quot;/Portals/&lt;/i&gt;default/App_Offline.htm &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Changed the packages to use OSVersion=3 by default: Windows Server 2012 and IIS 8&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Added Support for active and passive FTP. You can enable it in the wizard on the remote option settings step&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Added a new package supporting co-located cache. Note that you still will need a DNN caching provider that implements it.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Changed IIS 8 settings to use site pre-load&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Changed the appPool Startup mode to AlwaysRunning (see this &lt;a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vijaysk/archive/2012/10/11/iis-8-what-s-new-website-settings.aspx"&gt;http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vijaysk/archive/2012/10/11/iis-8-what-s-new-website-settings.aspx&lt;/a&gt; for more info)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;b&gt;New Features&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Added a new startup task to setup and configure the localhost SMTP server on the webroles. Now you can use LOCALHOST as SMTP server without the need of using a 3rd party SMTP server&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Added &amp;quot;post-install&amp;quot; addons feature: if an url pointing to a .zip file is specified in the service configuration file, after the successful start of the SMB server the .zip file will be downloaded and decompressed into the DotNetNuke folder maintaining the same files and folder architecture and overwriting contents. This is an useful feature to add in an automated way 3rd party files, dependencies, etc. to a DotNetNuke clean install. Use it as you wish.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Added SSL binding support: the Accelerator wizard does not include a step to setup this yet, but the work is done in the package. To manually setup SSL on your service configuration file, please read this thread &lt;a href="http://dnnazureaccelerator.codeplex.com/discussions/359504"&gt;http://dnnazureaccelerator.codeplex.com/discussions/359504&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Added Web Platform Installer support: a new startup task has been added to enable WebPI products installations and dependencies, like MVC3, WebDeploy, etc. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Added WebDeploy support: a new checkbox has been added in the Remote Desktop setup step, in order to enable WebDeploy. Using the new Web Plaform Installer feature, with Web Deploy enabled (note that enabling this feature takes about 10 more minutes for the VM deployment), you can access to your site using tools like WebMatrix or other command line tools like WebDeploy&amp;#39;s command line utility, in order to copy or modify files or create your own backups.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fixes&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Changed the way to import the publish settings file: discontinued the automatic download while refreshing the subscription data, you have to manually download and import the file in the wizard. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The packages are using the latest Azure SDK 1.7 (June 2012)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fixed the packageUrl on the SMB package&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fixed references to use latest versions&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fixed an issue causing the &amp;quot;fileshare&amp;quot; user&amp;#39;s password being expired after a month&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fixed an issue on the wizard&amp;#39;s verification step while deploying (&amp;quot;No deployments were found&amp;quot;)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

Using the new Web Plaform Installer feature, with Web Deploy enabled (note that enabling this feature takes about 10 more minutes for the VM deployment), you can access to your site using tools like WebMatrix or other command line tools like WebDeploy&amp;#39;s command line utility, in order to copy or modify files or create your own backups.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fixes&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Changed the way to import the publish settings file: discontinued the automatic download while refreshing the subscription data, you have to manually download and import the file in the wizard. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The packages are using the latest Azure SDK 1.7 (June 2012)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fixed the packageUrl on the SMB package&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fixed references to use latest versions&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fixed an issue causing the &amp;quot;fileshare&amp;quot; user&amp;#39;s password being expired after a month&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fixed an issue on the wizard&amp;#39;s verification step while deploying (&amp;quot;No deployments were found&amp;quot;)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
