Don't forget, this is not a release for production sites.  It requires testing and feedback.

Are there any screenshots available for 1.5. I am sure there are but can't seem to find them.

Congratulations to us all.. now back to work to get the language packs out the door..

This is great news  

Got 1 question though, when I install the beta will updates be rolled out similar to a normal release? i.e. when I go and test the beta and use it to set up a new site will I, over time, eventually get a stable 1.5 or could it involve having to remove and install with every beta update?

I know there are no guarantees but still, I am dying to make a new site based on 1.5

BIG BIG BIG congrats to all the teams.

Design is gorgeous, API is fantastic, UI is smooth. Beautiful new-born.


P.s. why is it still called 1.5 ? by the Christmas time that we get to stable, we could call it 2.0 ! :P
would follow a logic:
1.1 alpha
1.5 beta
2.0 stable

[Tonie]

Nice, thanks to all the commonity. We have new goodies to play with  :P!

[ot2sen]

please, please don't get carried away with the excitement. we all must now do our bit and test, test,test and test again.
when you find something odd, and you are bound to as it's a beta, report it.
when you report try and give as much information about the error, exactly what you did to create it,  can you repeat it and finally as much information about your system as possible including operating system, php version, mysql version and webserver version.

[kiwidesign]

Sure thing - where do we report bugs again?

Cheers

At last! Been waiting all day for this great event. 

Now to roll up the sleeves and get some work done on my Joomla sites ...

Don't forget, this is not a release for production sites.

I concur fully. I was actually referring to my local sites which I use for testing and development work for clients. Certainly not live, public sites!

[Fatty]

OOhhh...I'm excited. I can't wait to give this baby a run. Thanks to all the hard working people on the development team!

I'll start testing today...

Congrats and a very-very BIG THANKS to everyone involved in developing Joomla to be more un-ressistable CMS
