But 1 question, wasn't it supposed to be that the Template Contest winner was going to be included in the Joomla 1.5.0 final package?

Congratulations to the Core team who has been working on this for a long time, and of course to the development team and Lead Devs. A special thanks to the Bug Squad who has put in a lot of hours the last few weeks to get this release to where it is now.

Great job and well done !

Congratulations!

I just install Joomla! 1.5 Stable. I wonder where is the last template.

Wasn't the point of the contest to include JA Purity in the Stable release? I wonder why it's missing...

Still, even without the awesome JA Purity template, Joomla 1.5 is like the best news I've heard all month!!

Congratulation!
This has been the best news to all of us in in the year 2008!  :laugh: :laugh:
Thank you for the contest and we are so happy to be part of the news

I think I will work with someone from the core team (is it RobS?) how to fine-tune JA Purity so that it can be included into the stable versions.
Congratulation to Joomla again!!!
