ManagerManager for Evolution 1.0: Why the 0.4 Era Mattered

This package update mattered because ManagerManager was becoming one of the most practical tools for shaping the manager interface around real project needs. The release described here was adapted specifically for Evolution 1.0 and dropped compatibility with older MODX branches.

Notable changes

• configuration moved into a more practical plugin GUI
• TV names could be specified with or without the TV prefix
• compatibility was reworked for Evolution 1.0 and 1.0.1
• support was added for the Resource Type field
• access-permission tab controls were improved
• deprecated TV types could now actually be removed

Why it belongs in the timeline

ManagerManager is one of the defining old-Evo packages. Releases like this show how strongly the community cared about making the manager behave like a project-specific workspace instead of a fixed default UI.

Why this belongs in the timeline

This post matters because it shows how Evolution CMS teams solved real project problems with small, explicit patterns instead of heavy abstractions. That practical, incremental style is one of the clearest through-lines in the old Evo ecosystem.
