What to expect?

As explained in the preceding section, what has really changed is the core, which allows for quicker and easier development of new features. The following is a list of the many features that are already available as an effect of the core changes. This information is edited from the official MODx roadmap, which can be found at: http://modxcms.com/develop/roadmap.html.

• New manager: The new manager has been redesigned to be more friendly and customizable. The manager is on its way to become fully-customizable through templates.

• Packages: Now elements can be installed, updated, and maintained from the MODx manager interface.

  In the future, Revolution will also allow installation from remote repositories.

• Contexts: Imagine being able to reuse and share your elements in different contexts. Also, think of the contexts having a hierarchy! MODx Revolution introduces contexts, which make it easier to manage subdomains, subsites, multisites, and so on.
