What's New In 1.5?
The goals for the Joomla! 1.5 release are to:
-
Substantially improve usability, manageability, and scalability far beyond the original Mambo foundations.
-
Expand accessibility to support internationalisation, double-byte characters and Right-to-Left support for Arabic, Farsi, and Hebrew languages for example amongst others.
-
Extend the integration of external applications through Web Services and remote authentication such as the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).
-
Enhance the content delivery, template and presentation capabilities to support accessibility standards and content delivery to any destination.
-
Achieve a more sustainable and flexible framework for Component and Extension developers.
-
Deliver backward compatibility with previous releases of Components, Templates, Modules and other Extensions.
