Yep that's right the new version of Joomla is currently out and ready for you to use. There have been some major updates in this version and to be honest it should have been called Joomla 2.0, which i think would have been better, as usually the 1.x .x versions do not change that much. Still it is a great system that they have now produced, not that is has not been in the past. We have been using it for the past 4-5 years and its been great from the start.

Some of the main changes to the Joomla system is the ACS: the access control system, which allows you to manage what your members, group can see, right down to an individual person view a single page. Along with this is the template structure which has changed to, so beware that you template will not be compatible with Joomla 1.6 as well as your components.

Joomla 1.6 has been downloaded 269,931 times since it release on the 8th January. The system is is still in its early days and we would recommend that you onyly use this version if your website is going to be a simple brochure style website with out to much functionality. The reason for this is that there are not many components, modules and plugins available yet, and it usually takes around 6 - 12 months before you can truly start using the 1.6 Joomla system.

As a professional web design company that uses Joomla for 99% of all sites that we create, we will not be using the system probably until September 2011. Joomla 1.5 is more than stable and safe to use, with over 6900 extensions for the system you will not be short of ideas on how to expand your Joomla website.

Don't foget if you need help or would like a professionaly built Joomla site then please feel free to contact us.
