Announcing the release of MODx CMS 0.9.2

a dumb question perhaps and one that was asked by me several times he he,

upgrade instructions:

use the new version directory but remember to replace items like config,inc, templates images, snippets, etc from your older version
then the when you point to yoursite.com/install/ click upgrade and it will upgrade to the current version

basically any new things you added to any of your files you would move to the new directory, also if you edited any of chunks, snippets, etc good to renamem them so they don’t get overwritten with the default

for the most part its config.inc, templates, and any snippets, mods, plugins you added or edited

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!

From the FAQ: What’s the best way to install or upgrade MODx between versions? anselm1109, one of our great community members documented the process on his blog.

On a side note to MODx site webmaster (zi?), that link to anselms blog needs to be updated. Or better yet, update this page with the notes from anselms blog entry.

Thanks so much!

0.9.2.1 is the current patch release of 0.9.2

Apologies for my newbness.

Is the md5sum for modx-0.9.2.1.tar.gz available? I am getting an error extracting the files.

$ ls -l modx-0.9.2.1.tar.gz

$ md5sum modx-0.9.2.1.tar.gz

$ file modx-0.9.2.1.tar.gz

$ tar zxf modx-0.9.2.1.tar.gz

Thanks!

Open the file in a text editor and see if there’s a trailing space or return. Zap it and see if that gets the same error.

I removed 0x0D 0x0A (newline/carriage return) from the file. Tar zxf no longer complains. FYI, new filesize and md5sum are

I wonder, Is there a document page that list everything that was new in this realese, e.g what secuirty fixes, what new features were added etc. I cannot seem to find one

many thanks
