My notes show 10/24 @ 10PM EDT which is 4.5 hrs away (in the future) from the moment of this reply.

Introducing MONTAGE White and OS 3.0 MODX 2.0 Oct 25

Guess the point made with the OP is that available to "all users" would mean users at UTC+14 like MODX owners on the Line Islands of the Republic of Kiribati. It's currently noon (12:07PM) there on 10/25.

Likewise - other places west of there are also past the 10/25 mark.

If the post is US-centric, then EDT ("NY's Time" ) will reach 10/25 first. Which is still about 6 hours away from now.

I don't think it's unreasonable to just wait until it's 10/26 before sending up alarm bells - no matter if you live in Hawaii or the Line Islands - and certainly you'd be past any window of the "by the 25th" schedule.

I thought they would have been going by the Tokyo time zone - which is an hour behind where I am (Guam). We’re GMT+10 and it’s 11:08 am 10/25 here right now. I figure maybe around 2pm to check again.

It's live

The new firmware is V 2.00.1 and all updated nicely.
Performed the Initialize All Function from Utility and it seems to work fine. Now to try out some of the new features 😀

I, too was able to successfully update to V2. While the update was executing, I wondered what the recovery process would have been had the power gone out mid-update. We’ve been having periodic random power interruptions here - sometimes two times a day. It would only be out a few minutes, but would have been catastrophic if it occurred during the update process.

The readme file says that in the event of an interruption to try again and if unsuccessful, send it to a service center. That’s when I wondered just what the process at the service center would have been. I know there’s a factory test mode that can be started up and an option (test #24 Factory Set) that can be run without having to go into the utility page, but if there’s some corruption to the system file(s) I can’t tell whether this alone would allow reinstallation even then.

I’m still unclear as to whether this test mode can even be entered. Would it be some kind of hardware related solution -like maybe a chip replacement of some kind? My other guess is that the startup code invoked when the update is called (up cursor+UTILITY) is not overwritable by the new update(s) so re-attempts are still possible even after an interruption.

Then again, I could always invest in a small battery backup I suppose..

I’d be interested in hearing from anyone that’s experienced this kind of situation. Thanks.

All loaded up here in California. I updated by doing the hold "up cursor" and "utility" buttons simultaneously while turning on the machine method, Looks like everything is all good, Loaded the user back up file and everything looks right.

Downloaded and installed. What a great start to a damp Friday morning in the UK 🙂

I'm so glad I don't work on Fridays any more, I can't see me moving very far from my MODX today!

Just a reminder to those who never read instructions - don't forget to do a full backup before loading this update 🙂

Totally stoked...updating now, after work fun time (this IS worthy of a personal day though?)

By the way...it just occurred to me: October 25th, a very Yamaha MODX Christmas!

Motif XF Performances not added to os 2.0. It is big mistake like for me.

I know. But why do I have to waste USER or Libraries slot? Why they don't added this like in Montage 2.5 os update?
