Joomla 1.5 coming SOON

Just to let everyone out there know: some of the best open-source programs are going to have new releases soon. You probably know that this site runs on WordPress, and that the soon-to-die FreddyWare@School uses Joomla! 1.0.12 (it will be replaced with StudyNucleus and supporting services; FArticles will use Joomla! as well). You may also know that we use Openads to deliver the banner advertising at the top.

Joomla! has recently released Joomla! 1.5 Beta 2 Joomla! 1.5 Release Candidate 1 is now out! - the milestone that will be taking users closer to the release of 1.5. This is a highly anticipated event that many users will benefit from. (Joomla! is a popular content management system based on Mambo that is used by a huge number of content sites out there.) The new version introduces a much-improved administrator’s backend, an enhanced template and layout system, new support for SSL and different types of authentication (such as LDAP)… the list goes on. Check out http://www.joomla.org/content/view/3668/1/ and the main site at http://www.joomla.org/.

Meanwhile, WordPress has been very good at keeping security updates coming quickly. Not much to talk about there, except that I’ve had to upgrade (a simple process, I assure you) at least 3 times in the past month alone.

Finally, Openads has a new beta version of its popular ad management script. See http://blog.openads.org/07/openads-23-beta-updated/ for more details. The new version allows for click tracking for everything from AdSense to Yahoo! Publisher Network to various forms of rich media from third-party providers. It’s really excellent, but the current beta release has some bugs with maintenance.

Please, check out these great open source projects and download & use some of them for yourself. Donate if possible, too!
