As yesterday's press release mentioned, MODx Revolution 2.0.5 has been publicy released. I thought I would briefly focus on some of the specific changes in this minor release update from the MODx team. Over 175 issues and improvements were addressed in Revolution 2.0.5.
Some of the highlights of Revolution 2.0.5 include:
- Form Customization Revamped
- New Access Policy Templates
- Tighter, more stable code with regards to multiple contexts and filemanager_path settings
- Many xPDO (a newly adopted standard for database persistence in PHP) improvements and fixes
- A number of user interface (UI) fixes, such as Resource Tree enhancements, more phpthumb options, drag/drop improvements
- Fixed issues with APC, WinCache, eAccelerator and other caching systems
- Tightened Security against XSS (cross-site scripting) by adding sanity checks on data transmission
- Fixed issues with radio TVs, resourcelist TV, and other rare TV conflicts
The MODx team recommends that you read Upgrading to Revolution 2.0.5 before upgrading, especially if you use Form Customization, have a Custom Access Policy, or use the extension_packages setting. Revolution 2.0.5 can be downloaded from the MODx CMS website.
