Joomla is one of the most powerful open source content management systems on the planet. Its different versions have been downloaded millions of times and its used on millions of websites. Joomla 1.5 had many improvements over 1.0, but now, with the release of the new version 1.6, several important features have been added like ACL, infinite categories, automatic updates, a new highly usable wordpress-like backend and improved SEO. These features mean that Joomla is now on a level playing field with other CMS's like Drupal and Wordpress. We asked Dexter Eddie and Andrew Crowley, two of the developers who have been working on the release on their thoughts. "We are very excited about this new Joomla 1.6 version. There were many things that we wanted to see in 1.5, and now with this new release, they are now available to everyone." Good work to everyone involved in this latest milestone for Joomla! |
