Firstly I would like to thank the entire community for reporting bug issues, and being patient with us whilst we found solutions for you. Also I'd personally like to that all the positive feedback and encouragement that we have received since the beginning of Fabrik in January, this is the manna that we live off!

Secondly I would also like to extend a massive thank you to Hugh Messenger and Andre Lewis who have both over the last couple of months worked tirelessly and professionally in the forums. Additionally Hugh has been an extremely substantial contributor to the code base, so way to go Hugh!

Download the Upgrade to Fabrik 1.0.4
Valid for all previous versions of Fabrik. Upgrade instructions are in the zip's read me file.
