https://forums.modx.com/thread/?thread=214 https://forums.modx.com/thread/214/modx-revolution-2-0-0-beta-5-released#dis-post-1595 here.

There are 2 versions for download:

• Traditional (beta-5.zip) - For regular users, with all files pre-extracted.
• Advanced (beta-5-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.

Note that from here on out, Revolution 2.0.0 will be PHP 5.1.1+ only.

This will definitely be the last beta for MODx Revolution 2.0.0. Commits from here to rc1 will be concentrated on bugfixes, specifically dealing with security, IE issues, manager UI optmization and the install process.

Note: For those of you upgrading from prior beta installs, you might have to remove the following settings if you are running locally. The ’localhost’ domain is not a valid domain, and therefore does not resolve well with PHP sessions. So, to fix in beta5, remove these settings entirely from your modx_system_settings table (they are no longer included in new installs):

• session_name
• session_cookie_path
• session_cookie_domain

Then delete the core/cache/config.cache.php file.

Some of the main improvements are:

• Revolution is now PHP5.1.1+ only, and is optimized for PHP5.
• The manager UI design has been improved (and will continue to be until GA).
• A brand-new, REST-based Package Management system that allows for sorting, better details, and faster loading.
• Inline help is now available on most pages that connects directly to the MODx Official Documentation.
• The setup process has been streamlined and is now more efficient and modular.
• Package Management now restricts you from downloading Packages that do not support your MODx Revolution version.
• Many manager CSS/JS optimizations that drastically improve execution speed and response time
• Lots of bugfixes and cleanups to Template Variable editing
• Added (anonymous) access policy editing
• Over 75 issues, bugs and feature requests fixed and implemented

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

Thanks,
The MODx Team

P.S. A side note for Mac OSX users upgrading from prior Revolution betas: when replacing your current Revolution install folder with beta-4, 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.
