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.

We are in love with everything web and embrace technology as a means to drive social change.
Thanks for the updates! Your attention to detail really looks great.
Thanks Craig! Attention to detail is something we have always prided ourselves on and now with Morph we are able to justify being perfectionists as we are continuously refining a single product, rather than starting over with every new concept that is released
