Joomla! 1.5 RC3: Codename Takriban
- Details
- Created on Friday, 05 October 2007 16:36
Joomla! 1.5 RC3 [codename: Takriban] is now available for download. We've had the 'Red Barchetta' release candidate, then Endelo RC (meaning development, progress ... improvement). Takriban means 'almost, nearly'. Well folks we're almost, nearly there. Stable is getting very close.
It's roughly 10 weeks since RC1 and five weeks since RC2 and thanks to valuable community feedback, there have been improvements and bug fixes. The uptake of Joomla! 1.5 has been incredible, with many people diving in to the new API and finding ways to make it sing. The current Joomla! 1.5 template competition has further fuelled interest, as has the number of 1.5 native extensions finding their way onto the Joomla! Extensions Directory . Joomla! 1.5 is really gaining momentum.

It is roughly five weeks after the RC1 release and we have made major improvements in certain areas of the 1.5 codebase. Time to share another RC with the community. Some improvements and areas of changes are listed below:
- Router refactoring solving a range of bugs
- Media Manager refactoring, moving this to MVC standards
- Updated scripts (version); mootools, tinyMCE, Xstandard
- Core template improvements
- Template language installer support
- ... and of course a lot more
Note: due to the Router refactoring there will be known issues with SEF url's.
Important, you need to upgrade! In the current RC1 we found three security issues, one SQL injection, one XSS, and a few full path disclosure vulnerabilities. Those security issues are solved in the new release.
Where we go from here: as you might have read on a recent blog, we will have at least one more Release Candidate (RC3) and hope to move to a Stable release from there on.

Joomla! 1.0.13 Released
- Details
- Created on Monday, 23 July 2007 11:00
Joomla! 1.0.13 [ Sunglow ] is now available for download.
Joomla! 1.0.13 features:
- Several low-risk security fixes
- Improved password storage system
- Easier control over Register Globals Emulation
- An Itemid backwards compatibility setting
- Improved administrative session security
- Improved HTTP/HTTPS switchover support
Because Joomla! 1.0.13 is a security release, it is important that you upgrade but we strongly recommend that you take extra precautions when performing this upgrade. This release features several improvements to the password storage system designed to help protect the future security of your Joomla! powered website. These changes will cause compatibility issues with some 3rd Party Extensions, especially bridges. If your Joomla! site utilizes bridges to other applications orextensions that have their own login system such as Community Builder,Virtuemart, or others you should not upgrade your site until thoseextensions have also been updated.
The changes to the password storage system should be transparent to your Joomla! site's users. As users login for the first time after your site has been upgraded, their passwords will automatically be converted from the old password storage system to the new system. Because of this automatic conversion of passwords, it is important that you backup your entire database before performing this upgrade. Once the process of converting passwords has started, it cannot be reversed.
Release Information
1.0.13 is available as a full package,which contains all Joomla! files or as patch packages which contain onlythe files that have changed since previous Joomla! 1.0.x version.
