八月六日參加了 joomla Taiwan 的台北社群活動.  雖然 天氣超熱, 但是獲得許多關於 Joomla! 以後發展跟現在開發狀態的一些資訊與趨勢. 可謂 收穫很大! 重點是 出場費好少喔, 只要台幣100元, 就可以在現場吃吃喝喝聽演講.  Eddy ( Joomla! Taiwan 站長) 還說以後考慮漲價.

JCE 2.0 updated

This release, hot on the heels of JCE 2.0.2, fixes a Fatal Error when editing Profiles or MediaBox Parameters. As this error could prevent users from being able to edit Profiles, a quick update was necessary.

The Joomla Project is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Joomla 1.7.0. This is a security release. This is also the first release made within the new six-month release cycle that started with the delivery of Joomla 1.6 in January 2011.

The Production Leadership Team's goal is to continue to provide regular, frequent updates to the Joomla community. Learn more about Joomla! developement at the Developer Site.

Version 1.6.5 will reach end of life one month from today, on 19 August 2011. All users of version 1.6 should update to version 1.7.0 before that time. The update process is very simple, and complete instructions are available here.
