Today we proudly announce the release of the long-awaited MODX Revolution 2.3. This is a huge release incorporating more than a thousand commits by 17 code contributors, dozens of translators and countless bug-reporters.
Revolution 2.3 features an elegantly refined and updated MODX Manager with an all-new theme designed by Peter Knight (aka eladnova). Build and manage your sites faster, and in a more user friendly and less intimidating workspace. Revolution 2.3 also introduces the Uberbar, which provides Manager users with global search within Resources, Elements and Users. Now, whatever you're looking for is at your fingertips.
We have tried our best to encourage Extras authors to make sure their extras are up to date and compatible with 2.3, however, there may be extras that have not been tested. Before upgrading or starting a new project in Revolution 2.3, please take a look at
this list of Extras confirmed to work with 2.3.
