  New features in my branch:
  
  * separate welcome page logic from UI (welcome.html) to allows theme designer to easily style the welcome page
  * fix js bug with "Access permissions" checkbox in mutate_content,mutate_module, mutate_tmpvar
  * fix - hide working status after module loads
  * fix js bug inside mutate_content. tpSetting was not defined
  * fix context menu in MODx theme
  * update MODx theme
  
  With the new welcome page you can easily rearrange items to match your taste and style.

  I guess now is as good a time as any to make minor last-minute requests related to the things that people already seem to be working on...
  
  I would very much like to be able to style the login page separately. I tend to hack it so that it doesn’t advertise that it’s MODx (for security reasons only - I think obfuscation is the best defense against hacking). Ideally I would love it if this were a templated page with it’s own named styles.
  
  And in the same vein, I would really appreciate being able to rename the "manager" directory to whatever I like just by changing a config setting (also to keep the hackers guessing).
  
  Are these changes easy to do and things that others might also want?
  
  Just because you’re paranoid, doesn’t mean they’re not breaking into your site right now and replacing the whole thing with Viagra ads and Paris Hilton videos...

  Already does:
  

  <div id="mx_loginbox">

  
  so you could just change the CSS of your manager theme if you don’t want it to look like MODx. If I change the Manager theme, my login page changes style. But the content doesn’t change (eg MODx link and text), which seems to be what you really want. For non-security reasons, I’d ultimately like to have my manager pages have a link to my company support section rather than MODx, but I think I’ll end up hacking the login page to do that.

  Certainly this would help stop people deliberately triggering a ban. Sadly, this is a big change as manager/ is hardwired all over the place. It would be a very good future feature, but not for 0.9.5. Similarly, I’d like to see the ability to change index.php to another filename.
  No, I don't know what OpenGeek's saying half the time either.

  Thanks for the reply. No worries if this is too much for 0.95. I’ll just keep hacking things until then.
  
  I guess this could also be accomplished with a Plug-in... Or just an .htaccess redirect or header forward of the manager login page to my own page within MODx (which could have whatever content and template I like). Maybe that’s the best way to deal with this for now, since that way upgrades wouldn’t wipe out the changes.

  I really like the idea of being able to switch up the login box as well... Raymond’s method with the welcome.html file added to each theme could possibly work quite well... Great work Raymond.

  And with this morning’s work I bring you beta 5 (rev 1687). It’s a good one, too!
  
  Known issues we need assistance with:
  [*] in install/setup.data.sql the category statements around 339-360 are not executing leaving some resources in the "uncategorized" category... any ideas?
  [*] need updated language files, as there’s been a few additions
  [*] need language files for all resources (ditto, jot, eform, doc manager and quickedit)
  
  When we nail those three items, I think we’ll be ready for a public Release Candidate.

  Erm, it looks to me like the UPDATE SQL is being run before the actual snippet records have been inserted (in instprocessor.php) - does that sound about right? Perhaps its’s worth having two SQL files, one to run the updates right at the end of the processing.
  
  And, don’t forget the DocManager language file as well if anybody is working on any of them.
