Following the last week’s public bug squashing event that we did ( part 1 – part 2 ) with other 5 other major cities in the world, 100 commits were made and 88 bugs have been fixed by 52 of community members who have participated in the process.
Today we are proud to announce that Joomla! CMS version 1.5 Release Candidate 4 has been publicly released, and we are already looking forward to the next major release of our beloved content management system which will be the stable version.
Joomla!
