Each day brings good news to the Joomla community. On June 27th the Joomla 1.6.4 was released and next day, on June 28th, the Joomla developers announced the availability of the Joomla 1.7 Beta 1. Whether you’d like to download one version or another, please visit Joomla.com.
Although, it may seem strange to offer one version of Joomla just after another, there are some explanations for this. The version 1.6.4 is released to fix the issues that users face with the previous versions of the Joomla content management system and the main aims of introducing Joomla 1.7 Beta 1 are the following: 1. to test Joomla 1.7 and see if there are any bugs that should be fixed before the final release; 2. to inform Joomla users of the upcoming launch of the Joomla 1.7; 3. to allow a trial upgrade from version 1.6.4 to 1.7.0.
And the last thing to mention, both releases of the Joomla CMS are secure and you’re welcome to download the one you think you need more.
