Hey Flockstars,

We are very close to releasing a new and upgraded version of Flock (due out in the next 6 weeks or so). This next version will be the final step before we release our 1.0 product (and already includes a large majority of the back end work required for us to deliver v1.0).  In the interests of reflecting the reality of this next Flock release, the version number for the release has been designated v0.9 (not 0.8 as previously suggested).  We’re super excited to get this penultimate release out to all of you who have been waiting patiently.

 
While the developers were the ones doing the hard work to get 0.9 ready for you, significant credit must be given to Mike Dosik for offering to shave his head if we reached Feature Complete on schedule.  We did.  He shaved.

Before





















After













































If we've been quiet the last few weeks, it's because we've been barreling towards this deadline.  As we approach our v0.9 release date I will be posting more and more here and to the Flockstars mailing list to improve up our lines of communication and increase transparency.  We’ll be previewing the new website to a few people, comparing the abilities of Cardinal and Cormorant, and continuing to offer opportunities to help us test the heck out of this thing.
 
Things are getting very fun and exhilarating for us at the company - we hope you'll be there with us for every exciting development.
 
Flock on,

Evan Hamilton
