Joomla! 1.5 Stable released

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

The Joomla! community has culminated two and a half years of development with the release of the stable version of Joomla! 1.5. Yes, it’s out there!

This new version which not an upgrade to the previous one – but a whole new architecture has enormous advantages over Joomla! 1.0 in the areas of usability, internationalisation and of course extensibility. Now it is much easier to build extensions due to the comprehensive new application programming interface.
The user interface has been considerably simplified and there is support for extended character sets, right to left languages, and translation of all static text in the front end and the administrator allows enhanced internationalization and worldwide use.

Navega Bem – Web Design has in a very small way helped contribute to the uptake of Joomla! and promoted the great advantages of this CMS platform.

Even before this stable release – Joomla! 1.5 has been taken up by the Joomla! community at a phenomenal rate and an enormous amount of sites built around the Joomla! 1.5 framework have already been developed and published. Joomla! is also the winner of the ‘Best Open Source PHP CMS 2007′ award.

Find out more about Joomla! 1.5 and download it on the Joomla site.
