The MODx Team would like all to know that we have released MODx Revolution 2.0.0-alpha-5, downloadable from the MODx Web Transport Facility.
There are 3 versions for download:
Again, please fill out bugs in JIRA, read up on documentation in Confluence, and follow SVN developments in Fisheye.
A beta will be coming soon, with possibly only one more alpha left.
Thanks,
The MODx Team
P.S. A side note for Mac OSX users upgrading from prior Revolution alphas: when replacing your current Revolution install folder with alpha-5, if doing so locally, make sure to copy core/config/config.inc.php somewhere, as Mac OSX when overwriting folders does not recursively check and may delete the file.
Changelog:
- Fixed issue with file tree that prevented files from being viewable
- Major enhancements to Package Installer, including a new viewer that shows packages grouped by category
- JSLint optimization for most JS files
- [#MODX-88] Move version checking to setup script and add notifications.
- [#MODX-66] Change the way properties work within the scope of a chunk; placeholders set by the chunks properties are now removed after the chunk is processed.
- Added modX::unsetPlaceholder() and modX::unsetPlaceholders() functions.
- [#MODX-329] Fixed error with browser "remembering" user even when "remember me" is not checked. Was always using the system setting regardless of rememberme.
- [#MODX-380] Created modSymLink resource class which forwards requests to other resources without changing the URL (as opposed to modWebLink which redirects).
- [#MODX-372] Removed captcha lexicon string
- [#MODX-368] Fixed it so deleting a namespace properly cascades and deletes all modLexiconTopics, modLexiconEntries, modUserSettings, modContextSettings, and modSystemSettings when deleted
- [#MODX-404] Fixed issues with lexicons and 3rd party packages and non-core namespaces in System Settings. Should work as planned now.
- Renamed all 'Foci' references to 'Topic'
- Swapped strtr for str_replace in connector handlers for reliability
- Removed deprecated code in system settings controller
- Made sure removing the package actually removes the transport package file.
- [#MODX-385] Fixing duplicate in actionbuttons by simply removing it for now until we can come up with a better solution.
- [#MODX-392] Changing PackageBuilder->create to ->createPackage
- And more...
There are 3 versions for download:
- Traditional (alpha-5.zip) - For regular users, with all files pre-extracted.
- Advanced (alpha-5-advanced.zip) - For those who want a smaller download and compressed install. Those who do not have root or sudo access to their machine should use traditional and not sdk or advanced.
- SDK (alpha-5-sdk.zip) - Includes core building options, API docs, and files for developers.
Again, please fill out bugs in JIRA, read up on documentation in Confluence, and follow SVN developments in Fisheye.
A beta will be coming soon, with possibly only one more alpha left.
