MODX Revolution 3.0 has proven to be one of our best releases ever. Today we released Revolution 3.0.2 to continue with improvements. In this release some notable fixes and improvements include enabling SVGs preview thumbnails for image TVs, added support for WebP images in the Media Browser, fixed various PHP compatibility issues and UX fixes for a number of views and inputs. See the changelog below.
An important reminder about upgrading to Revo 3: we strongly urge you to carefully read the upgrade guide before making the leap—there are many significant changes under the hood and a few of your favorite Extras may not yet be fully compatible. You should test upgrades on a clone of your site, first, when upgrading from our older 2.x branch.

Do I Need to Upgrade to Revo 3?
While we believe it’s important to your site up to date with the latest versions of our software, we also understand that this is a big change that might require preparation. We will continue to support Revolution 2.8.x for some time—incorporating security and other important fixes. So, if you’re not quite ready to move to Revo 3, make sure you upgrade to 2.8.4 (2.8.5 is coming soon).
