MODX 1.2.3 Released

The recent blog post on less significant modification team changes forecasts the release of a new version of MODX. Besides allowing a change of versioning schemes, this release contains a huge amount of bug fixes.

We are proud to announce the release of the "toasted motherboard" 1.2.3 version of MODX.

MODX is the format used for distributing modifications, therefore this announcement is primarily aimed at MOD authors. We will require all modifications submitted after this announcement to use MODX 1.2.3.

How to get it

As always, you can obtain the latest version of MODX at the MODX Resource Centre. Additional information and files can be found there too.

Required changes

Luckily for mod authors, this release of MODX is fully backwards compatible. In addition to including the revised XSL file, the only change required to your modification is replacing this:
Code: Select all<mod xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://www.phpbb.com/mods/xml/modx-1.2.2.xsd">With this:
Code: Select all<mod xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://www.phpbb.com/mods/xml/modx-1.2.3.xsd">
