Announcing the release of MODx CMS 0.9.2

This was actually an unexpected release, but MODx 0.9.2 is here and available on our new Releases page (which we will be improving and enhancing very soon).

It is recommended that all users upgrade their sites to MODx 0.9.2 for security purposes, but only after thoroughly testing the upgrade process and result. This is a security and bug fix release, though it does include quite a few new features as well. However, it does not include all the latest versions of the snippets; so please don’t overwrite any snippets you may have upgraded during the upgrade process, if you didn’t rename them (which should be standard practice for most of you familiar with MODx upgrades). There may be some issues with QuickEdit on some sites as well, but all of these issues, plus a whole lot more, will be addressed in the next few of weeks, as the 0.9.5 release is finalized.

To download the 0.9.2 release, visit http://modxcms.com/releases.html

Please post any comments regarding this release in the known-issues thread. You may need to update some language files per the links contained in those threads.

Can you explain what you mean by renaming the snippets as a standard practice ?

I never renamed all of the snippets but when I upgraded they are all still in tact do you mean the title of the snippet or something in the database tables

is it really recommended to rename every snippet ? how about the mods and plugins ?

I thought the snippet name is set in the snippet file so it has to match no ?

If you modify a snippet in any way, upgrades may overwrite your changes. Therefore, best practices dictate that you modify the name of core snippets if you modify the code. Otherwise, leave them as is.

After some feedback from several users having trouble with weblinks in version 0.9.2, released yesterday, I was able to track down and resolve the issue. So, without further ado, the 0.9.2.1 patch level release of MODx 0.9.2 is now available from the downloads page.

I have also included a patch version for those who just upgraded to 0.9.2 and don’t feel like downloading the whole package again. To apply this patch to 0.9.2 installations, you simply need to extract the patch archive contents over the existing files in your installation.

All are available from the download page at http://modxcms.com/download.html

BTW, if you just downloaded the package, make sure you got the full download and not a partial size package that was unexpectedly available from the download page while I was uploading it. Check you package size against the one on the download page currently.

Cheers

Check your manager/includes/document.parser.class.inc.php file against the one in the patch package or visually verify the diffs from http://mirror1.cvsdude.com/trac/rethrash/tattoo/changeset/1004. If it appears the fix has been applied by the patch appropriately and this is still not working, post back. Also, might make sure you clear your cache (i.e. refresh the site) just make sure nothing bad got cached.

Everything seems to be OK (patch, cache) exept it doesn’t work
It could be a problem with my config server

@ Jason: I sent you a PM about weblinks.
does anybody have the same trouble even if the patch is applied?

Probably a dumb question, but can somebody give more details on what the upgrade process is? Do I blow away my current install and then copy back in anything from my assets folder? Or can I simply leave my old assets folder there and just replace the other files?

Thanks!
