I was really surprised not only find out that Joomla! 1.5 is going through a third release candidate, but will likely be followed with more release candidates. In most projects, the release canddate is a nearly-done final product where the only thing left is to make sure all the i's are dotted and all the t's are crossed. Not so with Joomla! 1.5.
Johan Janssens's writes in his post, Is Joomla! 1.5 RC3 really a release candidate?:
In the last two weeks after the release of RC3 I have seen this question popping up on forums and mailing lists. I have seen complaints about RC3 being more of a break in development then a real release candidate. Some people seem to feel that we are still adding features and making functionality changes.
In this post I will try to give, in all honesty and openness, a status update on development and provide an answer to this question.
You can read the rest of the post yourself. One quick summary for Johan's post would be, "Joomla is experiencing growing pains". Sometimes it's difficult for us to remember that while the original codebase for Joomla! has been around for awhile, the project itself is quite young.
Though, you have to admit, the number of Joomla! 1.5 release candidates does make it appear that the software is actually at beta level and not RC. Perhaps we'll be seeing a Joomla! 1.5 Final1 and Joomla! 1.5 Final2 then finally a Joomla! 1.5 Gold? That's likely not to happen, but I know it becomes a user's fear when they're not sure whether the software they're using is really stable or not. I wonder what all the Joomla! documentation writers are thinking right now?
