Evolution CMS 2.0.1

Evolution CMS 2.0.1 is a bug-fix release, but it is still notable because it introduced a feature that signaled where the model layer was going: DynamicRelation. The release therefore matters both as a stabilization update and as a small architectural marker.

New feature: DynamicRelation

SiteContent::addDynamicRelation('comments', function (SiteContent $myModel) {
    return $myModel->hasMany(Comments::class);
});

This made it easier to extend Evo models dynamically and build richer project-specific data relationships without forcing everything into the original core model definitions.
