MODX Revolution 2.2 RC1 released

MODX Revolution 2.2 has all chances to become the biggest release of the previously released. Developers have spent a tremendous amount of time improving the administrative interface to make work a pleasure, both aesthetically and in terms of performance.

This version is a candidate for release, so for now you should not expect safe updates on work sites without prior thorough testing. If you want to upgrade, it is strongly recommended that you test everything thoroughly before doing so.
