Symphony.

In the first post in a new series about Symphony’s ongoing development, the team announces its plans for version 2.1.

Symphony’s 2.0.7 branch got off to a bit of a… rocky start. Today we hope to rectify that, announcing the first official 2.0.7 Release Candidate.

The team introduces a series of improvements to Symphony’s development and release procedures.

The release of Symphony 2.0.7 saw some performance optimisations that deserve mention beyond a line on the release notes. This post focuses on changes that, in some cases, reduce query consumption by up to 99 percent!

It has certainly been an exciting year for Symphony and the super intelligent, ultra supportive, and drop-dead sexy community. To round the year off on a high note, the team made one last push to get a new Symphony update release out; despite what Santa says, you lot have been nice this year (with an appropriate amount of naughty).

Gene and Jay from unmatchedstyle.com did a website review of the Symphony website (Sweet!) and I’ve made a response video which addresses the concerns pointed out by the awesomely-astute-power-duo.

The new Symphony website is here. Ready to be unboxed and taken for a spin. But before you lose yourself in the depths of its labyrinthine awesomeness, take a moment to read about how it got here, what it has to offer, and what you can do to help whip it into fighting shape.

So here are the final two teaser screenshots of the new site. I can’t tell you how excited we are are: the site goes live on the 30th, two days after my 30th… the perfect present :)
