Joomla! 1.5 RC3 [codename: Takriban] is now available for download. We've had the 'Red Barchetta' release candidate, then Endelo RC (meaning development, progress … improvement). Takriban means 'almost, nearly'. Well folks we're almost, nearly there. Stable is getting very close. It's roughly 10 weeks since RC1 and five weeks since RC2 and thanks to valuable community feedback, there have been improvements and bug fixes. The uptake of Joomla! 1.5 has been incredible, with many people diving in to the new API and finding ways to make it sing. The current Joomla! 1.5 template competition (http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/board,479.0.html) has further fuelled interest, as has the number of 1.5 native extensions finding their way onto the Joomla! Extensions Directory (http://extensions.joomla.org/) . Joomla! 1.5 is really gaining momentum.
