It's early in the morning here in NYC, and just as I'm getting to board the train back to PICnet for my annual address to the company, I see the following good news on the Joomla! Web site: Joomla 1.5 is stable!
What an effort it's been. With a complete rewrite of the code base, making it sleeker and more elegant for developers and users alike, Joomla! 1.5 comes out of the door with a bang today.
While I've got to run to the train station this morning, I'm expecting a long day of celebrations ahead for everyone in the community. Congratulations everyone, especially Louis and Johan, whose vision helped propel the code base to be what it is today. Also, big thanks to PICnetter Kevin Devine, who's work in the past few months in bug squashing has lead to many great strides forward in the 1.5 trunk. More details coming soon!
