Well the time of bug fixes is over for the moment and we were able to correct all of the bugs posted on Joomla Code. The newest version of JIE, 1.0.9 is now ready for download and testing from JoomlaCode. In additional there is a new English language package, and a patch from 1.0.8 to 1.0.9. We'd like to thank Tibor Tóth and Jozsef Tamas Herczeg for their hard work in finding bugs and submitting them on the forge.

We recently recevied an email from Tibor Tóth, one of the developers on the Slovak and Hungarian localized releases of Joomla! International Edition. We are very excited about this development and are happy to see developers using JIE to create their own localized releases.

We are looking forward to the next two weeks really putting JIE through the cycle and trying to find and fix as many bugs as possible. Currently we have been really busy launching a Mongolian localized version of JIE here in Ulaanbaatar. As soon as our seminar is done we plan on taking another long look at the code base and try to wrangle out as many bugs as possible.
