Joomla! proudly presents its most important coding adrenaline surge to the development and designer community.  With today's release of Joomla! 1.5 Beta-2, we're shifting gears into turbo mode; an entirely re-factored core, internationalisation, FTP layering, next-generation API and framework that's so flexible and powerful and, of course, a designer's dream for unparalleled templating flexibility.

The Red Barchetta — Beta-2

We've dubbed Beta-2 'Red Barchetta', in keeping with the spirit of freedom, power, simplicity and flexibility unknown in an Open Source framework.  Besides Red Barchetta conjuring up triumph through coding revolution, this baby provides developers and designers with unequaled tools.  This makes Joomla! 1.5 Beta-2 the ultimate enabler for your projects.  Now is the time for you to take it for a serious drive to help our team refine the software for our release candidate goals.  It's also probably the best time for you to start learning the nuances of the new system to enable you to migrate your extensions and templates to the next generation CMS.
