At the present time, there are 4 issues that are blocking the release 1.6 Release Candidate 1. This progress is directly related to the continued efforts of the Joomla! Bug Squad.

See the CHANGELOG below for details of what has been changed in this release.

Release candidate before Christmas?

After the latest release of Joomla 1.6 beta, there was a hope in the community that the first Release Candidate would be ready today. Apparently, the release has been pushed forward.

The current version is the 15th in the series of continuous beta releases. The team expects to release version 1.6 Release Candidate 1 on December 13, 2010, unless, as they put it, "we encounter serious and unanticipated difficulties".
