Wie breits in anderen Meldungen dargestellt hat der Release Candidate von Joom!Fish 2.0 eine gute Ressonanz von unseren Anwendern erhalten. Einige kleinere Themen innerhalb der Erweiterung und ein paar unangenehmere bei der Migration von Joomla! 1.0 Webseiten sind aufgetreten.

Basierend auf unseren aktuellen Informationen im Trackingsystem werden wir innerhalb der kommenden Zwei Wochen die bestätigten Themen korrigieren und dann die stablie Version veröffentlichen. Um sicherzustellen, dass alle wichtigen Themen abgearbeitet werden können bitten wir Euch nochmals das Trackingsystem anzusehen und alle noch nicht gemeldeten Fehler einzutragen. Dabei ist es vollkommen in Ordnung, wenn nur eine Referenz auf unser Forum angegeben wird, falls die Themen dort bereits besprochen wurden.

Nach der stabilen Version von Joom!Fish 2.0 planen wir bereits die Version 2.1. Diese wird nicht sehr lange auf sich warten lassen, so dass wir um Verständnis bitten wenn wir nur die Prio 1 und 2 Fehler bis zum stabilen Release bearbeiten. Alle weiteren Fehler werden danach in Patches oder spätestens der Version 2.1 korrigiert werden.

Wir möchten darauf hinweisen, dass wir mit der Veröffentlichung von Joom!Fish 2.0 den normalen Lebenszyklus der Erweiterung fortführen. Die Version 1.8 wird ab diesem Zeitpunkt nur noch  Sicherheitsaktualisierungen erhalten. Nach einem Jahr wird die Version 1.8.x dann auslaufen und nicht weiter unterstützt. Wir empfehlen unbedingt aktuelle Joomla! 1.0 + Joom!Fish 1.8 Installationen auf die aktuellen Versionen zu migrieren.

It's been 2 weeks since we released the Joom!Fish 2.0 RC in public. On our default download location more than 10.000 downloads have been provided since. The feedback we get is pretty cool and already several sites use the system in a pre productive phase.

What is even more positive is the fact that we have less than 10 bugs reported. Most of the issues are related to the caching system of Joomla! that still has some general issues which are reported for Joomla! 1.5 as well. In order to take care of these issues we decided to integrate a new logic caching the translations in the database and not in the file system. Most of the other issues are easily fixed.

Saying so, we are very close to the stable version of Joom!Fish and we expect the release in time. The preparation phase for the Club Members will start soon and short after we will release the stable version to the public. We like to thank all our users, contributors and donors for the help and confidence in the project.

Dear friends of the Joom!Fish project,
It is our pleasure to announce the immediate availability of the public release of Joom!Fish 2.0 Release Candidate. A big thank goes to everyone interested in the project, from contributors, supporters, end users, third party developers and of course our families and friends for their patience when we were giving our time to the project.

Joom!Fish 2.0 is the full featured release of Joomla's free multilingual extension. It is considered stable for productive use after a long phase of Beta testing. All features are implemented and depending on the community feedback we will look forward releasing the stable version soon.

The Joom!Fish team is proud to announce that the Release Candidate for Joom!Fish 2.0 is now available for all Club Members including pre-access and installation support in the download area. All non-members can access the package already on SVN. We will open the support forums as soon as we have the public availibility of Joom!Fish 2.0 RC on September 9th of 2008. We like to take the opportunity and thank all our contributors, donors and other partners for the feedback, ideas and help getting this done.

The Joom!Fish team likes to announce the availibility of the Release Candidate Joom!Fish 2.0 for all Club members starting from today. We will provide the package including dedicated support and installation help for all Club members. For everybody else the package is available in the SVN trunk. Starting 9th of September 2008 we will provide the RC package for the public including support in our forums.

With this package we have completed the full set of features and required integration for all Joom!Fish core components, modules and plugins. The status of the package is considered feature complete and so far pretty stable. As we implemented several new features within the last development cycle this release candidate is dedicated to do the final testing and offer all our supporters some time for the final translations, documentations and other required localisations.

The team is pretty confident that after a short peroid of the final testing the stable version from Joom!Fish 2.0 can be released as well. The current release already includes the feature to upgrade your work from the RC to a later stable version without a transition period. With Joom!Fish very close to be stable a quite long development phase ended. Joom!Fish now uses most of the new Joomla! framework architectures and it should be easy to be integrated in your sites. We are looking forward seeing your new sites soon and like to invite all of you writing about your projects within our forum.

The Joom!Fish development team is pleased to announce the official and public release of the Joom!Fish 2.0 Beta today.

The new version can be found in our download area and allows native integration of multilingual solutions into Joomla! 1.5. Joom!Fish 2.0 is an enhanced and native implemented extension using the Joomla! 1.5 framework. It incorporates with the Joomla! 1.5 legacy mode for other extensions as well as the native integration.

The current implementation is 95% feature completed and already once tested by all our contributors and donators. However we recommend not using this version for a productive website yet. After this Beta the Joom!Fish team will release an Release Candidate and then the stable version. Depending on the feedback the RC is expected to be published soon.

The open issues related to this release is a final cleanup of code, the finishing of language files together with the translators and the integration of bugs found in the system. For the feedback towards these topics we opened a free support forum . This forum is open and does not include priority support. If you require priority support and you can subscribe to our support forum including direct access to our development team.

Last but not least thank's to all our supporters, contributors, translators and many, many more that supported the project in the past month. Your feedback and encouraging comments are a very valuable source of energy and motivation for our team.
