2013 has been a year of hard late nights but very rewarding work for the PyroCMS team. Ever since we announced our plans a year ago for 2.3 to start leveraging Laravel 4 and general Composer components we have been coding our collective backsides off to make it a reality. We can all certainly agree that 2.3.0 has taken longer than expected thus far (thank you all for your patience), but it has been without a doubt the biggest improvement to the CMS we have ever had.
