Introduction

Hello there and welcome to CMV 2.0 Beta 1!

It has been awhile since our previous release of CMV though we've been far from idle. The shiny new 2.0 release includes many, many, new features and bug fixes we've added over the last 18 months. Only some of the notable enhancements are listed at the top of this page. The full commit log is provided at the bottom.

While this release is labeled as a beta-1, many developers have been using it in test and production environments for quite some time without issue. So don't be shy! Give this release a spin and provide us some feedback via the Issues or Gitter chat. Even better still, join us in making CMV even more awesome by contributing a Pull Request.

We feel there is lots of great new stuff to be excited about in this release but we're barely getting started! We have great plans for frequent releases of CMV with a beta 2 already in the works. Your feedback is very valuable to us. Please let us know what you think.

Enjoy,

The CMV Team
