Episerver - update 92

Update 92 includes the releases of Episerver CMS Core 9.4.0, with a new user notifications API, and Episerver Commerce 9.4.0, with a promotion type for the new promotions system. Both these new features are still in Beta. The update also includes bug fixes for Episerver CMS UI and Episerver Forms.

The update applies to Episerver projects version 7.5 and higher, and contains finalized work items included in the latest iteration. Continuous release updates are cumulative to include previous updates. Episerver supports all platform updates and strongly recommends that you keep ongoing projects up-to-date. You can install the update from the Episerver NuGet feed.

Note: In some upgrade scenarios, you might experience issues with the dependency chains due to issues with NuGet. This mostly affects Commerce and Find, but also might occur when updating CMS. The workaround usually is to update the packages one-by-one. The issue was fixed in NuGet 3.1.1.0 but requires Visual Studio 2015. See Issues with NuGet package updates.
