We recently migrated from Subversion to Git for version control as part of our effort to further streamline our development and build processes. We are also now using Composer for all Blesta extensions and have integrated this into our build process. As a result, you may see composer.json files included with extensions, which is normal going forward.

Also, it’s looking like 4.1 will be dedicated to improving domain registration support.
