Joomla! 1.0.8 will be released late Saturday February 25, 2006.
1.0.8 represents a Security Release. It contains:
* 13 `Medium Level` Threat fixes
* 23 `Low Level` Threat fixes
* 70+ non-critical general bug fixes
* Several Query performance improvements
None of the Security Threats are rated as critical, however all Joomla! users are strongly urged to upgrade to this version, when it is released. |
Saturday Feb 25, 2006. That's already past right?? But I can't find where to download it. 
It has been released today (Sunday, 26 February 2006) and you can download it form http://www.joomla.org/
Yeah, I finally found out. They should really consider changing the download image on the home that says "Joomla! 1.0.7 download", which is the first thing I looked at. Anyway, feels sort of new after upgrading. 
what can you do with it ?

I just started to used Joomla a month ago, and I'm already hooked to it. It's really easy to use. The thing about CMS is that the content is organised, you can edit your content straight with the WYSIWYG editor. The main thing I like about Joomla is that it's made with PHP (powerful), and I don't know much about PHP. In theory, you only need html knowledge, but sometimes you need to manual edit some of the files. There's also lots of components, modules, and templates that you can add yourself. Such as forums, photo galleries, chat client, etc. I really recommend that you give it a try it.
