Question | What are the current release plans for version 11? |
---|---|
Answer | As of July 22, 2024, we entered beta status where our focus is now smashing bugs and stabilising the software. All planned features have been implemented for 11.0 (and most others deferred to 11.1 or later), though we may still merge in a few minor features or tweaks. The upgrader has been tested on a typical non-custom v10 site. We will be releasing several beta versions in the beta phase.
