Very nice! Well done. 
So resources are now elements...does that make the 'document tree' the 'resource tree' now? What other naming has changed?

I like the unobtrusive configuration warning with the red tab...nice...but may be too subtle for some users. Also I missed the alert that directed me to the site configuration after a fresh install (or was that only if there were no warnings...I don't remember).

Good idea to use the carbon theme, it is really nice. And I liked the idea of unifying the help and other customizations together with the theme...this will sure make it easier to update.

Good job guys...good to see Evo getting some attention

Anybody who wants to look around at it and can't do an installation, I've got the latest from SVN installed. http://www.sottwell.com/manager

I assume since this is an RC, it's alright to update a 0.9.6.3 install with this?

[sottwell]

I've done my site, and it went (as usual) without a hitch. The only thing I noticed was that even though it was an upgrade, it overwrote my manager template setting. Not that I mind, the carbon template is nice.

Its safe to do so as Susan wrote.

[Sylvaticus]

Updated one of my sites, without any problems at all. Great work! Thanks!    Starting the translation updates as soon as I get the time.

Another excellent job - well done

Love the new theme and I really think you guys are putting a lot of effort into polishing up Modx and delivering some outstanding features.

Thank you

Works like a charm. This was a nice surprise this morning as I was just about to release manager access to my client today. The new carbon theme should definitely impress. Thank you MODx team for all your hard work. This system is very impressive and I have been messing around with it quite a bit recently. Soon we'll be releasing a rapid deployment template for MODx that should be very useful to designers in order to simplify the task of creating functionality on the fly.

I can effectively active/deactivate functionality through TVs anywhere on our web sites with seamless integration into structure restraints. Should get interesting soon.

Let the fun begin.

Upgrade went without a hitch for me.

Not quite, I think.

In the new terminology, Resources and Elements are two different things.

The stuff in the tree is now resources.
   Documents
   Weblinks

The things on the tabs are elements
   Snippets
   Chunks
   TVs
   Templates
   Plugins

This is important in transition to Revolution where they are all in the trees on tabs (or optionally in an accordion menu).

In Revolution, the tree looks like this (for now anyway):

Resources Tab
   Documents
   Weblinks
   Symlinks
   Static Resources


Elements Tab
   Snippets
   Chunks
   TVs
   Templates
   Plugins
   Categories

Files Tab
   (file tree here)

...The stuff in the tree is now resources....

Bob, I think you confirmed what I was saying...the document tree is now the 'resource tree'.

Glad to see the Carbon theme be the default. I've used it on every MODx site since it was released.

...The stuff in the tree is now resources....

Bob, I think you confirmed what I was saying...the document tree is now the 'resource tree'. 

Right, but with respect to resources and elements, it might be clearer (or not) to say that what used to be resources are now elements and what used to be documents are now resources (though they're still documents).   

[sottwell]

right. The terminology is being brought into line with standard web terminology: web resources, as in "Universal Resource Locator". So pages, files, etc that you would access with a URL or URI are resources. The internal MODx ...things are elements.

Congratulations!

I think the new installer is nice. Though I have noticed a problem with German "umlaute" (e.g. ä,ö,ü, show up as gibrish), I like it more than the old one.

I also agree that the new carbon theme is neat, but I think it would be a good idea to set the basic font-size to 12 or even higher. Font-size 11, coloured nearly black (#111) on a white background is very strenuous for the eyes.

I'm still missing a "save" button which is always "hovering" on top of the edit document area. I get a lot of complains about this feature and I'm surprised, that this "usability problem" still isn't solved. Though the BottomButtonBar by Mitch is very helpful, I would be awfully greatful for a more convenient solution.

By the way. I think it would be a good idea to move the safe, delete, cancel buttons to the right side. Don't know how many times I have tried to click the save button and hit one of the links on top of it instead.

Another thing that I was hoping to see was a working "export website" feature. I still get a "Could not retrieve document" message for each and every document in the tree. Searching the forum about this "feature" gives me the impression, that for the majority of modx installations the export function is a mess.

Apart from that...

Thanks!

Yours,
