is J1.6 any good? im planning on starting a new project soon and was wondering if i should stick to J1.5 or move on to 1.6. is it buggy? is to use? much different to J1.5? your feedback would be helpful!
If you absolutely need something that is only available in 1.6 (namely nested categories and built in ACL), AND you can find all of your current extensions or substitutes in 1.6 versions, plus your template, then yes, upgrade. Otherwise, don't. Here is a link to another discussion about it: "http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?p=2374769"
Dont waste your time with 1.6 as 1.7 is coming out very soon. Stick to 1.5 as it has been developed over time and many extensions available.
No Dear Never go joomla 1.6, you should either joomla 1.5 or joomla 1.7 chose, but i will suggest if your site is with article no need extra like different type extensions then choose 1.7, but if u want to use different extensions , will suggest you to use 1.5 Thanks
For certain security reason, I prefer J1.6...for great supporting component, I will choose 1.5. When is J1.7 release?
Until Joomla has another official stable release, it would be best to just use Joomla 1.5. There are some additions to the CMS that can only be found in the latest version, but I wouldn't say that they warrant an upgrade, especially since Joomla 1.6 is only a beta release. Personally, I think that it's a bit foolish that developers are even distributing extensions that are only available for Joomla 1.6. It's going to be obsolete with the next update, and then they'll have to do it all over again. It would be wiser to develop for Joomla 1.5, and integrate 1.6 compatibility. But again, that's just me. I never use beta releases, though, as you never know what bugs or security holes you might encounter.
If your site is simple joomla 1.5 will do. If you want something spectacular, 1.6 is the answer. It's not about extensions, trust me they are all coming. Its about the power of 1.6 under its bonnet. I've used Joomla since day one and in comparrison 1.6 is nothing short of brilliant for developing advanced enterprise level sites. Its MUCH faster, Mutli categories, muli-templates, ACL....
Stay with Joomla 1.5, if 1.6 doesnt meet your requirements in terms of extensions . Personally, Im going to keep developing all of my clients sites in Joomla 1.5 only. I will move to Joomla 1.6 , once I see all the extensions upgraded. Also, I will personally use Joomla 1.6 now. !.7 is already out, but still no good extensions available.
noone should use 1.6 now. end of life for this product, you ll have no security updates anymore . 1.5 or 1.77
Joomla 1.6 is more flexible and a lil bit more safety. But there are no such great templates like 1.5

I have been using J1.5 for some clients when I upgraded one of those to J1.6 a little while ago it crashed so I just re developed the site on J1.5... But for fresh install always go for the latest version and make sure the theme you use is compatible with that version of Joomla...
Hello: InHouseWebSolutions better if you migrate to Joomla 1.7 or use joomla 1.5 if client didnt requiments joomquery.com
Hello Lamvt, Yeah I agree but some of custom theme requirements don't function in the newer versions code structure...... I need to do more modifications. I think most of my clients will migrate ok but there is a few that will definitely cause some issues...
Joomla 1.7 is latest version. And it is better then previous version. I think 1.7 using is better but 1.5 version is not bat at all!
