Joomla 1.7 Info Coming

Wednesday, July 13th, 2011 by Michael Pignataro

In case you have not heard, Joomla 1.7 will be released on July 19, 2011. This is the first release under Joomla’s new 6-month release schedule.

1. Should I update my Joomla 1.6 site to Joomla 1.7?

Absolutely you should. In fact, you must. Joomla 1.6 will reach the end of its life in August 2011, just a month away. After that, Joomla 1.6 will have no further security updates, meaning that if a security problem is discovered, it will not be addressed. And that means if your site is hacked due to a 1.6 vulnerability, you will have no recourse to fix the site, other than to move it to 1.7 anyway. You might as well move it sooner than later!

Oh, and upgrading from 1.6 to 1.7 is designed to be a very simple, one-click process. Read the rest of this entry »
