[Updates] New Joomla! releases

The Joomla! development team has released two updates for their Joomla! CMS script.

The Joomla! developers are currently maintaining two release trees, version 1.5 a legacy version, and version 1.7 the latest version. There is a security update for each version.

Release notes for these updates are at:

Joomla! 1.5.24 released
Joomla! 1.7.2 released

Depending on which release tree you are using, you should upgrade to the newest version of that release tree. All Joomla! script users should update to avoid hacking and website exploits!

For instructions on upgrading see the Joomla! guides:

(Joomla! 1.5): Upgrading 1.5 from an existing 1.5x version
(Joomla! 1.7): Upgrading 1.7 from an existing 1.7x version

If you need help, we can assist you in upgrading an existing Joomla! 1.7 site to 1.7.2. Just open a support ticket and we will look into it. We will need your Joomla! administrator username and password.
