MODX Evolution 1.0.13 RC2: The Second Release Candidate Before 1.0.13

MODX Evolution 1.0.13 RC2 was published as another stabilization step before the final 1.0.13 release. The original announcement was brief and pointed readers to the issue tracker, which was typical for community builds of that period.

The important part of this release was not marketing language. It was validation: RC builds gave active maintainers and project teams a chance to test fixes against real sites before the final package shipped.

What RC2 represented

• another pass over known regressions before the stable release
• a call for real-world testing from active Evo developers
• a checkpoint for teams maintaining custom distributions and forks

Historical source

The original note pointed to the tracker version page for the release candidate and treated the build as a testing milestone rather than a long-form feature announcement.

That is exactly how it should be read today: RC2 was part of the final hardening cycle that shaped the eventual 1.0.13 release line.
