Today’s Update Brought to You By the Letter

β

In our last update, Les hinted that the next update on ExpressionEngine 2.0’s progress would be more significant than the last few, which have been pretty standard fare, letting you know that we were progressively on the march and happy with where we were.  But this week we’ve crossed a major milestone and I’ve crawled from the icy confines of the Fortress of Solitude to bring you this news: our focus is now shifted to beginning a beta program.
