MODX Evolution 1.0.1: Security, Transalias, and Better Manager Defaults
A release recap for the early Evolution 1.0.1 update and the practical improvements that followed the first 1.0 launch.
Not long after the first Evolution 1.0 release, version 1.0.1 arrived as a practical update aimed at stability, security, and everyday usability. It is historically important because it showed the project team actively maintaining the classic codebase instead of treating 1.0 as a one-off milestone.
Main additions and improvements
- security bugfixes and an AjaxSearch update to 1.8.4
- ManagerManager included in the standard distribution with useful defaults enabled
- Transalias promoted as a built-in SEO helper for aliases
- installer improvements and document-tree refinements
- QuickManager+ becoming much more usable in daily work
Why this release matters
1.0.1 is one of those updates that made Evolution feel alive after the initial release. It strengthened the surrounding toolchain and showed that packaging, alias handling, and manager ergonomics were already priorities in the early Evo era.
