Joomla! 3.2 - Something new for everyone

The Joomla! Project and the Production Leadership Team are proud to announce the release of Joomla! 3.2.2 which resolves a significant number of issues and bugs.

If you are currently running Joomla! 3.2, we recommend that you apply this update immediately via either the one-click update or the update downloads available at www.joomla.org/download.html. For other versions of the 3.x series, applying the update is recommended at the next convenient opportunity.

Joomla! 2.5

The Joomla! Project is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Joomla 2.5.18.

Joomla! 2.5.18 is a maintenance release. Most notably this release fixes errors that have been reported including:

  • Articles missing for admins in front end
  • Modules disappear at front page after clicking the article title

Also with this release, the enhanced password hashing via PHPass, available in Joomla 3.2.1, is now used with the 2.5 series.

The update process is very simple, and complete instructions are available here. Note that there are now easier and better ways of updating than copying the files with FTP.

Download

New Installations: Click here to download Joomla 2.5.18 (Full package) »

Update Package: Click here to download Joomla 2.5.18 (Update package) »

Note: Please read the update instructions before updating.
