Joomla 2.5.0 CMS (Content Managed System)
The new version of Joomla, Joomla 2.5.0 was released on the 24th of January. Version 2.5.0 is is the next update from version 1.7.
Version 2.5.0 is the second release made within the new six-month release cycle that started with the delivery of Joomla 1.6 in January 2011. Version 2.5 is a long-term-support (LTS) release that will be supported for at least 18 months.
Joomla’s Production Leadership Team’s goal is to continue to provide regular, frequent updates to the Joomla community.
Version 1.7 will reach end of life on 24 February 2012. All users of version 1.7 should update to version 2.5.0 before that time.
At I-Tech Web Design North Wales we make sure we do security updates as and when they are released, but with major releases like Joomla 1.5 to Joomla 1.7 and also Joomla 1.7 to Joomla 2.5.0 we tend not to jump onto the bandwagon until all our software and features have been tested fully before we would recommend our clients to upgrade.
We have now tested 2.5.0 and are now developing Joomla 2.5.0 sites amongst others.
There are many new Joomla 2.5.0 features.
