3.1 Maintenance Release Beta Available!

3.1 Maintenance Release Beta

We've released the Maintenance release for 3.1. This release will be in beta for a short while (1-2 weeks) to give the community time to evaluate and comment. After an appropriate review time, we'll certify the build as the official and most current release.

This release is particularly noteworthy for the quality of the code and the amount of fixes addressed. Of special mention are Dennis Clark and Ezra Parker who collaborated on a very technical and important update to the way Model-Glue is initialized.

I'm pleased, as managing director of Model-Glue, to see a growing commitment to teamwork and creative problem solving. Model-Glue continues to evolve because of the many users who challenge the framework, and the many contributors who pitch in and make great things happen.
