https://forums.modx.com/thread/?thread=195 https://forums.modx.com/thread/195/modx-revolution-2-0-0-alpha-6-released#dis-post-1570 MODx Web Transport Facility. This will be the final alpha version.

There are 3 versions for download:

• Traditional (alpha-6.zip) - For regular users, with all files pre-extracted.
• Advanced (alpha-6-advanced.zip) - For those who want a smaller download and compressed install. Those who do not have root or sudo access to their machine should use traditional and not sdk or advanced.
• SDK (alpha-6-sdk.zip) - Includes core building options, API docs, and files for developers.

Again, please fill out bugs in JIRA, read up on documentation in Confluence, and follow SVN developments in Fisheye.

Note: The MODx Web Transport Facility Provider has been upgraded to alpha-6, and therefore remote downloading via the Package Installer will only work with alpha-6 and beyond. If you are using a prior version, please upgrade to alpha-6 if you want to utilize the remote package installation features.

A beta is planned to come out at the beginning of 2009. We will also have a State of the Revolution informational post to come soon, giving you all more insight on what’s left in Revolution, what’s needed, and how you can help.

Thanks,
The MODx Team

P.S. A side note for Mac OSX users upgrading from prior Revolution alphas: when replacing your current Revolution install folder with alpha-6, if doing so locally, make sure to copy core/config/config.inc.php somewhere, as Mac OSX when overwriting folders does not recursively check and may delete the file.

Note: Earlier on Nov 25th if you were having problems downloading alpha-6, that problem has been resolved.
