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.

Kind regards

Alex, Geraint, Ivo and Robin

We are pleased to announce that, as a result of a huge effort by Geraint and myself, we have reached the stage that we can make a special preview of the alpha release of Joomfish 2.0 available to Joomfish project supporters. Please go to the dedicated support forum to access this version. Please note that the access to this forum is restricted to contributors and regular donors.

We are proud to announce that the Joom!Fish 1.8 manual was published for all contributors to the Joom!Fish project.

Contributors are considered the translators, people who donated more at least 10 EUR and other people supporting the project.

The documentation can be find in the specific forum. 

After the first release of Joom!Fish 1.8 several smaller bugs and improvements had been found by our community. Most of those smaller issues had been implemented in the 1.8.1 or 1.8.2 releases which are available at the moment.

As we consider the version 1.8 the latest version for Joomla! 1.0.x series we like to inform you that we will maintain the 1.8.x releases ongoing. We plan to review every month if important changes are found and what we can do about those issues. We always will collect some issues for one patch and will make sure that the patches do not affect your already used data and translations. Our goal is to create a very stable and reliable solution based on the feature set of Joom!Fish 1.8 for all Joomla! 1.0.x installations.

The next update and patch is planed for mid January 2008. If you still have some ideas and suggestions please feel free to report them either on our tracker or in the forum. 

Yannick Gaultier just released the sh404SEF version 1.3 RC . This version co-operates nicely with the Joom!Fish 1.8 extension and we can highly recommend using this combination for your SEF integrations. SH404SEF is also used on our own sites where we are testing several combinations of tools. It works since the beginning and since Yannick joined the Joom!Fish tech-talk team we have been able to improve the co-operation of both extensions nicely.
