Joomla 1.5 released
The API has received significant updates in Joomla! 1.5, for both the interface and the structural framework. The administrative interface is now more streamlined and easier to use. It is now easy to add and manage media items directly into posts. There are also improved pagination controls and search-engine friendly URLs.
Designers now have greater control over how their layouts, and can automatically override a custom solution over the table-heavy output from Joomla! of old. This model is being adopted into third-party extensions. Additionally designers can now create custom modules to have greater control over how their sites look.
