title: "Codeception 2.1 Beta"

date: 2015-05-02 01:03:50

We are glad to announce the first release of Codeception 2.1. It was a long time of developing the next major version of our testing framework. We delayed the release many times trying to bring as many cool features as we could. Today we can say that codebase in master is stabilized and we are prepared to share results of our work with you. Codeception 2.1 tries to do its best in test codebase organizing, improving ux, and customization.

[Take a look](http://codeception.com/slides/codecept21) what is landed in Codeception 2.1.

You can install Codeception 2.1 via composer by requiring `2.1.0-beta` version, or by [downloading phar](/releases/2.1.0-beta/codecept.phar).

Give new Codeception a try and send us feedback. As always [use GitHub issues](https://github.com/Codeception/Codeception/issues) for that. Thanks for being with us all that time! We hope you will love this release.
