CtrlPanel 1.3.0 is ready for public beta testing, and it is one of our biggest updates yet.

We want to be upfront: 1.2.0 took us nearly ten months to reach a stable release, and that hurt. We over-promised, under-delivered, and then spent months stabilizing what we should have gotten right the first time. 1.3.0 went the other way. Development started right after 1.2.0 shipped in April, and the beta is here roughly six months later - and it is still a larger update in every measurable sense.

With the release of 1.2.0, CtrlPanel moves from AGPL 3.0 to the Mozilla Public License 2.0. This post covers what that means for everyone - users, addon and theme developers, and contributors.

After nearly 10 months of development, we are ready to present version 1.2.0 as a stable release.

We want to be transparent with our community: version 1.1 was released prematurely, and we are not proud of that. It shipped with too many rough edges and took far longer to stabilize than it should have. We heard your frustration, and we took it seriously.
