Morph officially hits code-freeze!

It’s been a grueling couple of weeks, with the entire team working around the clock to get Morph to a point where we are happy to say it’s feature complete for the stable release.

Now that we have reached code freeze, you’re probably wondering what’s next? Well, over the next week or two we will be focusing extensively on bug fixing, cross browser testing and performance optimization – after which point a release candidate will be made available.

What does this mean to you?

We are pretty confident with Morph’s stability already and so far have managed to fix all bugs reported by our wonderful beta testers in the Morph beta testers board.

Simply put, this means we are really close now and it won’t be too much longer before you are able to start taking advantage of all the awesomeness that is Morph!
