So what’s in 3.2?

The focus of 3.2 is the client area. The entire client area has been rebuilt on top of Bootstrap 3 and is responsive. Additionally, 4 new responsive order templates have been created, including:

• Ajax Slider (A one page ajax order form with a slider package selector)
• Ajax Boxes (A one page ajax order form with a boxes package selector)
• Wizard Slider (A multi-step wizard order form with a slider package selector)

We really like these new order forms and we hope you do too.

If you have any custom plugins or modules or website integrations, we suggest installing the beta and getting a head start integrating. Anything custom that renders views in the client area will need to be updated.
