    The MODx Team would like all to know that we have released MODx Revolution 2.0.0-beta-4, downloadable here.

    There are 2 versions for download:
    • Traditional (beta-4.zip) - For regular users, with all files pre-extracted.
    • Advanced (beta-4-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.

    This will hopefully (major issues notwithstanding) be the last beta for MODx Revolution 2.0. Commits from here to rc1 will be concentrated on bugfixes, specifically dealing with security, IE issues, and the install process.

    Some of the main improvements are:


    • Tons of bugfixes across the platform.
    • Major cleanup of Security section, more consolidation, easier-to-understand UI
    • Vast speed improvements to installer - now runs with memory_limit at least 24M
    • "Form Customization", which allows you to show/hide and retitle fields in the manager.
    • Left-navbar in manager is now a tabbed interface, rather than old accordion.
    • Added extra options to TV editing fields
    • And more...



    Again, please fill out bugs in JIRA, read up on documentation in Confluence, and follow SVN developments in Fisheye.

    Thanks,
    The MODx Team

    P.S. A side note for Mac OSX users upgrading from prior Revolution betas: when replacing your current Revolution install folder with beta-4, 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.
