    Come on!

    I have lot of tolerance for community projects like MODx and the fact that people are too busy sorting stuff or living their lives to keep the documentation up to date but this I just have to comment on;

    "This release fixes a few small bugs in the way the criteria is built for resources and tvFilters properties, as well as allows a 0-based idx property"

    recognise it?

    is the description of getResources I stumbled across looking to find an equivalent for Ditto, without which most of my Evo sites would be very poor indeed.

    Yes? And? What does it do? excuse me.... a 3am sentence about a couple of bug fixes is not a description. If Opengeek dosen’t have the time to write another sentence then please will someone help him out/

    as said elsewhere I started on Revo and quickly abandoned it for Evo, I have one site built in Revo, with which I can continue to evalute Revo.

    This does not add any to my confidence in Revo.

        OK, fair enough and thank you.

        Perhaps the package description could include ummm. a description and possibly a link, though I accept that I should have found this manual page.

          getResources is a general-purpose listing and summarization snippet for MODx Revolution. It is NOT a replacement for Ditto, but rather an alternative component that can accomplish some of the things that the more specialized components do, i.e. Ditto, Wayfinder, Breadcrumbs; basically anything that output the properties for a list of Resources (formerly Documents in MODx Evolution).
