Joomla 1.0 Released

[AlphaWolf]

Joomla! is a production of Open Source Matters, the same team that brought you the award winning Mambo Content Management System.  OSM has taken their final stable version of Mambo (4.5.2.3), given it a spring clean and named it Joomla! 1.0 In addition, several small features that were going to be released in Joomla! 1.1 have been brought forward and included in this release.

"We have made every effort to make this version backwardly compatible with Mambo 4.5.2.3 but there are a few changes that may affect a small selection of existing addons.  If you are a developer of Mambo addons (and soon to be Joomla! developer) then your attention should be drawn to the following points:

    * patTemplate::createTemplate arguments have changed
    * database:setQuery arguments have changed but this is unlikely to affect most sites
    * A minor change need to be made to existing Administrator templates for Joomla! to work correctly."

Joomla information and Joomla 1.0 is available at www.joomla.org

I think everyone should do this upgrade if they can.  I did it last week and had no problems even with mods.  Mambo will be rocky now that the entire development team is gone.
