Get it here!

There are 2 versions:

• Traditional (beta-2.zip) - For regular users, with all files pre-extracted.
• Advanced (beta-2-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 advanced.

Main fixes and new cool stuff:

• Manager upgraded to ExtJS 3.0 from 2.2; now faster and more responsive.
• You now can drag/drop Elements and Resources directly into any content field and watch as it builds the tag for you.
• We’ve added a Visual Tag Builder for Elements, where after drag/dropping them into fields, you can select a Property Set and customize values from a form, and watch it build the tag syntax for you after you’re done.
• Now you can Quick Update or Create any type of Element or Resource. Don’t want to leave a page to update another Document? Quick Update it!
• Toggle your Manager layout between tab-based and portal based with a setting.
• Speed improvements to the backend manager.
• Fixed issues with uninstalling packages; they properly revert and save zipped copies of older versions.
• Package Download section now grays out packages you’ve already downloaded.
• Manage all Plugins assigned to an Event now easily from an intuitive grid.
• Added new methods for zip compresssion for installation and packaging that speeds up install time.
• Many, many bug fixes across the framework.

You can see some of the new features in this screencast.

Special Note for Upgrades:
If you are upgrading from Revolution 2.0.0-beta-1 you will need to clear your browser cache. If you experience issues during upgrade you may need to empty your core/cache directory. Mac OSX users upgrading from prior Revolution alphas: when replacing your current Revolution install folder with beta-2, 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.
