Don’t forget to contact our support team for questions about the new version.

We have also added more content to our documentation to help answer most commonly asked questions. If you are looking for the twentyeleven theme, we have not migrated it yet. It is quite the process to migrate a new theme, and there is a lot of testing involved.

We hope you enjoy this update! Posted by Rafael Corral, Lead Developer
