What's New in MODx 3.0.1-pl
Revolution 3.0 is a significant milestone in the 17+ year history of MODX (yep, we started in 2004). It builds upon the core principles of providing the best foundation to build a website no matter what technology you choose, having only the essential functionality in the core. It’s easy to use and customize as your needs change.
New Features
- A Refreshing User Interface Refresh: For users of MODX Revolution 3, what immediately stands out is a new, more welcoming login screen and contemporary, more responsive Manager design that retains all the critical design features and paradigms of the MODX you know.
- Passwordless login. This allows users to log in following single-use, tokenized links sent to your email address. This is extremely simple and handy for those who don’t make or can’t remember strong passwords.
- A new, enhanced Template selector that pops up when creating a new Resource from the Resource Tree, lets you enter the title, content type, parent and template (with image preview) before creating the new Resource for a smoother, simpler user experience with fewer steps or page reloads.
- Visual breadcrumbs in the Manager shows, at a glance, where a Resource is in the Tree, and allows quick navigation to ancestor Resources.
- To improve the signal to noise ratio in the MODX Error Log, deprecation logs have been moved to a separate tab at Manage > Reports > Error log. This makes it much easier to find actual problems in the logs.
- The Manager language is now session-specific. This allows easier multilingual use and enables a user to switch languages, as needed, on the login screen or in the Manager.
Developer Changes
- A significant modernization of the much of the Revolution codebase
- Namespaces are now part of the Revo core
- Dependencies are (auto-)loaded through Composer
- We’ve added a dependency injection container, including new standardized HTTP services, with more uses coming in future releases
- xPDO 3 makes it possible for you to use namespaces in your custom models and use new CLI tools for model generation
