Last night, the Joomla project announced the immediate availability of Joomla 1.6 beta 10 (download).
IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a beta version and is not intended to run any type of production site. It is intended to be used for evaluation purposes only.
Since the Joomla 1.6 beta 9 release on September 6, the team has fixed approximately 102 issues in the tracker (wow!). They have closed an additional 48 tracker issues. This progress is directly related to the continued efforts of the Joomla! Bug Squad. Thanks for all your hard work in bringing us one increment closer to stable!
See the CHANGELOG below for details of what has been changed in this release. If you want to know what's new in Joomla 1.6, check out the Documentation.
What's next?
This is the tenth in the series of continuous beta releases. Beta 11 will be released on October 4, 2010.
