As you may already know we are releasing an update almost every week now, that addresses in most part fixes and small improvements but in the back end we are always working on something bigger with more substance.
These bigger updates require not only more time and attention, but more testing as well. Today we are starting an open beta for Brizy WordPress 2.4.0, that contains a lot of things we've been working on in the past months.
From a big list of long awaited improvements to a lot of fixes and some new things like motion effects, all coming in Brizy 2.4.0 . If you want to take the beta builds for a spin, join our Beta Crew.
(Very Important: Don't install the beta updates on live websites)
