Joomla 3.0 Stable Now Available

According to the official announcement, also the date mentioned by Ryan Ozimek on Joomla! Day Poland 2012 - Joomla 3.0 is ready to download & install.

Joomla! release cycle 2011-2014

As most people know, version 3.0 is the next major release of Joomla after the huge success of version 2.5. Joomla 3.0 is just a bridge to 3.5, and support will end 30 days after 3.1 sees the light of day. Because the changes from Joomla 2.5 to 3.0 are large, there is no core upgrade path, this is indeed a migration process.

joomla releasecycle

As you can see Joomla 2.5 is sttill the preferred platform for a vast majority of the users - firstly It's stable and secure version , secondly huge number of the extensions support Joomla 2.5  and finally it's supported till April 2013. But remember that Joomla 3.0 is a first fully mobile & responsive CMS release of the Joomla project. Version 3 is recommended for more experienced users and developers.

The most noticeable difference is the new administrator template, named Isis, now it has full mobile support. Joomla 3.0 uses Twitter Bootstrap.

Joomla 3.0 System requirements

To install and run Joomla 3.0 your web host must meet certain minimum requirements:

  • PHP 5.3.1 or higher
  • MySQL 5.1 or higher
  • PostgreSQL 8.3.18 or higher 

This means you need to ensure your host supports these before taking the plunge. Fortunately, most of the popular web hosts meet these requirements.

Disk space - 10 Megabytes for a minimum base installation, at least 100 MB with many contributed components, modules and templates, and more for database content, media, documents, images, backups and other files.

Bad karma: we can't find that page!

You asked for https://joomlawebhoster.net/en/blog/Admin, but despite our computers looking very hard, we could not find it. What happened ?

  • the link you clicked to arrive here has a typo in it
  • or somehow we removed that page, or gave it another name
  • or, quite unlikely for sure, maybe you typed it yourself and there was a little mistake ?

It's not the end of everything though : you may be interested in the following pages on our site:

Dear Joomlashack Friends,

It gives us great pleasure to welcome Brian Teeman to The Shack.  As many of you may already know, since co-founding Joomla! and Open Source Matters in 2005, Brian has committed his every waking minute to sharing his love for Joomla and teaching people how to use Joomla the world over.  Just this year, he visited over 13 different countries where he taught how to use Joomla and participated as a key-note speaker at Joomla Day events.

Starting in January, Brian will take over the job of Director of the School of Joomla! at Joomlashack University from our good friend Forest Linden.  Forest will forever be one of the co-founders of our wonderful University and for that we will be eternally thankful.  Forest left big shoes to fill as he worked tirelessly during these last two years to create a comprehensive collection of lessons, classes, and video tutorials all in an unparalleled level of quality and ease of use.  There are not many people who could fill the void Forest has left behind, but we are confident Brian is more than up to the challenge.

Joomlashack was founded on September 2nd 2005, the day after the Joomla project got started. Since then, for almost 7 years, our history and Brian’s have run parallel and at times crossed paths and intertwined.  When asked about coming aboard and becoming one of the team members of the Shack, Brian had this to say:

“I’ve been fortunate to teach Joomla to a great number of people and I’m excited to have the opportunity to ‘Spread The Joomla Love’ to a wider audience... Joomlashack is one of the oldest and most respected Joomla companies’ out there, it is a great honour to join them.”

 We too are honored to have Brian join the Joomlashack Team.  His experience and keen Joomla insights will prove to be the driving force that will allow the School of Joomla! at Joomlashack University to prepare individuals and companies how to face the Joomla! web-design challenges 2012 will bring.
