Popular open source content management system (CMS)
Joomla has just released Joomla 2.5. Along with new
features such as advanced search and automatic
notification of Joomla core and extension updates, the
Joomla CMS for the first time includes multi-database
support with the addition of Microsoft SQL Server.
Previous versions of Joomla were compatible
exclusively with MySQL databases.
"Multi-database support is a huge step forward for
Joomla, which is already powering more than 1.6
million websites worldwide. It ensures companies and
organization, both large and small, will save even
more money and time by adopting Joomla," said Ryan
Ozimek, president of Open Source Matters, a non-profit
created to provide organization, legal and financial
support to the Joomla project. "No longer will Joomla
developers be tied down to a particular database or
have to spend more money and time integrating other
software to get Joomla to communicate with their
database. This enhances Joomla's scalability
immensely."
Other key features in Joomla 2.5 includes:
- Automatic notification when a Joomla or extension
update is available. When logged into the control
panel, site administrators will instantly have access
to new notification buttons that allows them to see
and act on the latest updates. In addition to updates
for the Joomla CMS, a second button offers third party
extension notification updates.
- A better natural language search engine to the
Joomla core. Complete with auto-completion and
stemming (for example if you type "running" in a
search field you also see run), it is faster and more
versatile than the standard search.
