Developer Network™ There is always a great deal of Joomla! development activity underway and communicating with other developers in the community is essential. This site is a resource for anyone looking to build or maintain software based on the Joomla! platform.
Where to Start
The Joomla Project is pleased to announce the availability of Joomla 3.0 Alpha 1 for download.
What is this release for?
There is one goal for this release: to allow advance testing of custom extensions so that extension developers can report any problems well before the final release. This release includes most of the platform changes that will be included with version 3.0.0. Some of these changes will require small changes to extensions. For a complete list of known backward compatibility issues for version 3.0 see Potential backward compatibility issues in Joomla 3.0 and Joomla Platform 12.1 in the documentation site.
For known issues with the 3.0 alpha-1 release, see the version 3.0 Alpha-1 FAQ in the documentation site.
What is this release NOT for?
This alpha version of Joomla 3.0 is not suitable for production sites. It is for testing only.
Version 12.1 ("Louis Landry") of the Joomla Platform was tagged and released on 9 May 2012. It is the first release of the 12.x series. In addition to numerous bug fixes, it also brings new features, the main ones:
- Simplified foundational classes for Model, View and Controller
- Database iterator
- PostgreSQL driver
- New Crypt package
- File patcher
The full list of commits is available here github.com/joomla/joomla-platform/commits/12.1 and the api doc here api.joomla.org

The next Joomla Roadmap Meeting is being held as part of the J and Beyond conference that is taking place May 18-20 in Bad Nauheim, Germany. Ideally, we'd like to come out of the meeting with some tangible accomplishments, but we recognize that may not be possible given the time constraints. More important is to bring people together to bounce ideas around and to form groups that will work to bring particular features into Joomla.
