apnscp 2, the successor to our control panel, apnscp esprit, has been released.  apnscp 2 is an enormous milestone that represents a shift in focus from backend to UI development – Instead of devising a process to execute a task, how can the process be simplified to the user.  The announcement will be abbreviated to give a glimpse of earlier WIPs, including the first run of apnscp 2 that thankfully never was.  The next step is a backend move from the proprietary gobbledygook MVC to Zend Framework, then back to UI improvements.  Enjoy!
