Joomla 1.5 stable released today.

It will take a while for people to begin converting their extensions but the stable 1.5 is out today.

 

Good news, i can't wait to test drive this new version.

 

It's a good news, i'll test it locally first, and will upgrade the websites to 1.5 stable version after the extensions I used has been converted to 1.5

 

Is it ok for 1.5 to go live ?

Can anyone show me a link that shows the benefits of 1.5 over my 1.3 version please.

 

This is great news! joomla is such a sweet cms.

 

Why would it not be ok for Joomla 1.5 to go live? It has gone through extended tests so yes, I'd definitely use it on a production website. However, if you're running a well established website based on Joomla 1.0.x series then I'd probably keep it that way.

Use J!1.5 for new projects only.

 

Yes go live on it. But if you are running a 1.0.13 version don't change because your extensions won't be compatible

 

True, not all extensions are ready to be used on J!1.5, so I'd give it some time before moving my existing sites to the 1.5.x series.

 

strange, you'd seem to think that they would put up a live demo on opening day...

 

I've read there is no easy way to upgrade to 1.5 and many extensions are not ready yet... so it will be a while before all Joomla users take up 1.5... and many may not at all...

 

That's more like a battle for survival, and the best extensions will surely make it to Joomla 1.5 since it has so much more to give compared to the older generation.

 

for the moment I will use 1.0.14... the extensions are not ready yet for 1.5

 

Oh My God! Great news ... going to install it right now Just want to test it

The download link does not work

 

just wondering, what about the difference between 1.0+ and 1.5 templates?

 

i just messed with it again today and it is really growing on me

guess i need to write a component

 

About bloody time. I've been waiting for this to become stable so I can take it for a spin.
