  • Today we released the first patch release for MODX Revolution 2.3. With 2.3.1 we have resolved a number of annoyances and bugs that were missed in pre-release testing. These include issues with thumbnailing and Extras that relied on it, Snippets and Plugins inserting 1s into views or filling the error log, restored Forgot Password functionality and much more.

    Highlights of Revolution 2.3.1

    • Fixed phpThumb issue breaking internal thumbnails and funcitonality of a number of Extras that relied on it
    • Fixed the issue where Snippets and Plugins that didn't explicitly return a value were outputting 1s or logging errors
    • Fixed Forgot Password functionality.
    • Updated the MODX logo to the newly revlealed logo
    • Fixed fallback for Gravatar to ensure manager loads if Gravatar can't be reached
    • Added Revo only RSS Security Feed (no more Evo Security Issues in the Manager)
