The latest release of MODX Revolution is a patch upgrade to 2.4.2. If you missed the 2.4.0 announcement, check out the details here. 2.4.0 was a big one.
Highlights from the changelog:
- Add resource title in Manager Log for edited resources
- Update Font-Awesome to 4.4 (note if you haven't voted for a MODX icon in FontAwesome you can do it here)
- Update setup to check the minimum supported PHP version
- ...and a bunch of UI improvements & fixes
Important: 2.3.6 contains a security patch and is considered a mandatory update. 2.4.0 contains all patches from 2.3.6, and also closes the security issue. 2.4.2 is a non-critical patch of the 2.4 branch.
