MODX Custom 1.0.10-d5.3RC: SeoStrictUrl in Core and Better Editor Tools
This custom Evolution build bundled a notably practical set of improvements: SeoStrictUrl integration, a better CodeMirror setup, sitemap work, editor polish, and a long list of small manager fixes.
This release note from the old custom distribution still matters because it captured a lot of practical Evolution CMS improvements in one place. The most visible change was integrating SeoStrictUrl into the core so projects could avoid duplicate URLs and handle routes such as sitemap.xml more cleanly.
Highlights
- SeoStrictUrl moved into the core
- CodeMirror upgraded and improved with hotkeys and syntax support
- sitemap snippet updates and extra SEO tab options
- manager_path fixes and multiple small backend corrections
- AjaxSearch, MultiTV, JotX, and Fancybox updates
Representative change list
- update MultiTv to 1.5.1
- fix IF notempty behavior
- add SMTP port setting
- update CodeMirror to 3.13
- move SeoStrictUrl into core
- update ajaxSearch to 1.9.3b
- fix automatic alias_visible behaviorWhy it matters historically
Posts like this show how much of the Evolution ecosystem advanced through practical distribution-level maintenance: editor ergonomics, SEO fixes, and small manager improvements were often shipped together because real projects needed them immediately.
