Evolution CMS Installer 1.2.0: Managed Extras in CLI and TUI

Installer 1.2.0 added managed Extras installation support, making the CLI and TUI setup flow more useful for real project bootstrapping.

Evolution CMS Installer 1.2.0 added support for managed Extras installation through the CLI and terminal UI. This shifted the installer from “install the core” toward “bootstrap a usable project”.

Published: January 20, 2026

Main release point

  • Managed Extras can be selected and installed from the CLI/TUI installer flow.
  • The installer gained stronger dependency verification around Composer vendor health.
  • CLI installer mode received better logging and extended Composer options.
  • The UI started carrying more branch and update metadata through the install flow.

Why it matters

Extras are part of how real Evolution CMS projects are assembled. Adding managed Extras to the installer reduces post-install manual steps and makes a fresh project closer to the shape a developer actually needs.
