Great news! Finally it arrived. Big changes happened and this release might feel a bit rough. But that is expected. And we should not underestimate the value of moving all tools to spec. That makes all of it (yet again) less dependent in morphic. Having an idle vm is also highly appreciated for peole like me that do a lot of server installations.
Well done and thanks for the hard work!
