Interesting about Joomla! CMS

Tags: joomla

Recently at forum.joomla.org RobInk (Global Moderator of the forum) has written, that

as you could see in the 1.0.x SVN changelog, work is done for a new release which will be 1.0.13. I have to note here that 1.0.x is in maintenance mode, so only security issues will be fixed, so not all the bugs listed on the tracker will be fixed. There is no date set for the new 1.0.13 release, this still needs testing.

Well, 1.0.12 is pretty stable and there are some significant improvements made in 1.0.13.

Also the information about Joomla! 1.0.13 has appeared on Joomla! performance testing where comparisons of various Joomla! Releases (Joomla! 1.0.13 RC, Joomla! 1.5 beta, and Joomla! 1.5 beta 2) on speed of page generation were spent. By the way, as results have shown, Joomla! 1.0.13 on PHP 5.2.2 with APC (Alternative PHP Cache) allows to reach the greatest speed.

Really, if we look in SVN, according to a file includes/version.php we can see, that the version Joomla! 1.0.13 RC 2 (codename “Sunday”) of May, 18th is ready.

However, the file changelog.php speaks that changes were made after May, 18th, too. Here the list of all changes made by now:
