Like any and all software, security is a continually evolving and constant battle between application developers and hackers. The increased security threats discovered in the Joomla!Universe indicate nothing more than an increasing usage of Joomla! throughout the world and thus an increasing interest from hackers.

Just when you thought it was time for a Joomla! release increment, we've decided to take FIVE in one go!
During the past few months, we've been discussing the versioning of the forthcoming Joomla! release. We have decided to call the upcoming beta release "Joomla! 1.5 Beta", not Joomla! 1.1 Beta.
