sh404SEF Becomes Better and Better, SerrBizSEF Become Free

I had the pleasure of testing out the latest version of sh404SEF over the weekend. Yannick just keeps making his component better and better. This latest version is 1.2.4x although the difference between Yannick really needs to get a new release numbering system. The improvements between 1.2.4a and 1.2.4x is greater than most developers manage between 0.1 and 10.0. It really is becoming the 800 pound gorilla of SEF tools.

Joomla 1.5 Release Candidate 3 Out Now

Joomla! 1.5 RC3 (codename: Takriban) is now available for download and a stable version is "very close". It’s been 10 weeks since Release Candidate 1 and five weeks since Release Candidate 2.
