Pre-release candidate of Morph for Joomla available for download

We’ve just updated the Joomlajunkie club downloads with new versions of Morph, Configurator and Vanilla (see change log below). There have been a ton of fixes and refinements cross the board and Configurator is working pretty well in Firefox, Safari, Opera and Chrome.

The frontend themelets are already pretty stable and now Configurator is almost ready for the imminent release candidate. You will notice in the new version that step 3 of the installer has been removed. We don’t like doing anything half baked and realized that we need more time to do it properly, but we don’t want that to hold Morph back from getting to a stable release. (more…)
