The Joomla Project is pleased to announce the availability of Joomla 1.7 RC1 for download. This is the first release made within the new six-month release cycle that started with the delivery of Joomla 1.6 in January 2011.

What is this release for?
There are several goals for this release:

  • To allow advance testing of sites and custom extensions so that site administrators and developers can report any problems before the final release.
  • To raise awareness that the end of the current development cycle is fast approaching.
  • To allow testing of the upgrade from version 1.6.5 to 1.7.0.

What is this release NOT for?
This beta version of Joomla 1.7 is not suitable for production sites. It should be used for testing only.

When is the final release due?
Joomla 1.7 GA (general availability) is due to be released on 19 July 2011. The planned milestone after this date are:

  • 10 August - Joomla 1.6 reaches end of life and is no longer supported
  • January 2012 - Next version of Joomla is released
  • April 2012 - Joomla 1.5 reaches end of life
  • Please note that dates may be subject to change depending on availability of volunteers and circumstances beyond our control.

Upgrading from Joomla 1.6.4 to Joomla 1.7 will be easy. Joomla! Start to Finish: How to Plan, Execute, and Maintain Your Web Site (Wrox Programmer to Programmer) You can test the upgrade from 1.6.5 to 1.7.0 RC1 with the following simple steps:

  1. Create a test version of 1.6.5. (Do not use a production 1.6 version!)
  2. Navigate to the Extension Manager -> Install tab.
