The latest release of MODX Revolution is a minor version upgrade to 2.4.0. This release adds package dependencies along with over 70 improvements.
Highlights are listed below, but check out the
changelog for the play-by-play.
- Package Dependencies! Developers can now specify dependencies for their MODX Extras. This is a way bigger deal than can be decribed here. There's never been a more exciting time to develop for your favorite platform
- Some improvements have been made to the accessibility of the Manager UI. We've got a ways to go yet, but this version sets the stage better than any previous version.
- Heroic and necessary steps were taken towards making MODX fully testable, thanks to @markwillis82.
- Everyone loves performance optimization, and new database indexes in 2.4 deliver the warm fuzzies.
- Better UX, stability, security and overall goodness abound.
- Again, for the full (and rather long) list, read this.
Important:
Revolution 2.3.6 contained a security patch and is considered a mandatory update. Revolution 2.4.0 contains all same patches from 2.3.6, and also closes the same security issue.
