    MODx 0.9.6 RC3 is available from the betas and previews page. Ryan will post the official public announcement soon. Let me know if you get a chance to download it before then and encounter any major issues installing a new site or upgrading an existing site.

    NOTE: A little more work is outstanding on the installer regarding determining the character set for existing databases on upgrades; for now, run the advanced upgrade and manually select the proper collation and encoding after reviewing those values in MySQL.

      Did a fresh (local) install with the sample content. No major issues at all but I did notice some things in the sample content though.

      Where’s the search box? There’s a result page, a mention of the search on the home page and the 404 page but no search box anywhere smiley and speaking of the 404 page, the link "perhaps you need to login" isn’t working, href is empty.

      By the way the contact us (eform) sample form could use an upgrade as well I think to show it’s validation styles capabilities. I’ll post a suggestion a little later.

          Is the search box not showing up in the header? It does on an install of mine here (at least of rev 25882592). If not, which browser is dying?

            Hmm, I don’t think I’ve got write permissions to that but here’s a patch for setup.data.sql instead.

              Nice work

              I just did a fresh install, everything worked smoothly except now all of the snippets/plugins/chunks are listed as "Uncategorized"... is this a feature or a bug?

                Did you have them categorized before?

                  No, this was a fresh install, brand new database and files.

                    It’s a feature. Now you can put all of your "resources" into categories for organization. It’s not likely that they could be put in categories on installation, because everybody has different ideas of how they want their stuff organized.

                      I believe it only categorizes them when you install the demo content too.
