MODX Revolution 2.1 & VersionX

No idea on a timeline, though I’m not expecting anything for at least another three weeks - possibly longer. Probably also first a release candidate or two before the PL etc. There’s more great things coming in 2.2 such as minifying & caching JS on the fly (great manager speed boost there) and static elements.

(This is me guessing based on what I’ve seen in the past - not some secret source or anything)

Just to let you know.. I've finally started a complete rewrite - and it's looking real cool. More features (*cough* element versioning *cough*) and it's going to be set up much more flexible and useful than ever would've been possible with VersionX 1.0.

VersionX 2.0 wont be released until I'm happy with it and with very limited hours to spend on this that'll be a while

But we'll get there.

<---- alpha tester !!! hook me up

i can run dupe out a few modx installations i am willing to destroy in the spirit of testing

It's so far just keeping track of resources (and TVs if using 2.1 or above, will be implementing it for 2.0 too) and the different elements. That's real cool as it is, but there's no functionality yet to actually view version details, compare or let alone restore them. I've got it running on a couple of personal sites and sites of my clients now to let it collect data and being able of using that for developing with a real case scenario.

The only thing done now is a grid with some filter options for Resources. This is what it looks like-ish:

I'm probably going to adapt a different UI style, based on the work from Lossendae which is used in his Cliche package. Mainly cause it looks super sexy and VersionX 2 also is super sexy. On top of that there'll be some very interesting configuration options and other stuff I've got planned. But I don't want to promise specifics until it's done

I'll keep this topic up to date for sure if there's real news to report. For the running stuff on VersionX or one of the other 4 projects I'm working on, just follow me on Twitter: @mark_hamstra.
