Actually these are not even news because Joomla 1.6 Alpha 2 was released in October, 2009 but we want to notice that Alpha 2 has some details that are really important for the developers and Joomla users. We all know that Joomla 1.6 will be faster than the previous version. This release has such improvements:
ACL: access management for global permissions as well as content item specific permissions, variable usergroups, users member of more than one usergroup, permissions are inherited, really fast
Extendable user profile, profile view in frontend, extendable user parameters
Tableless com_content layouts
Improved com_content modules (mod_articles_archive, mod_articles_latest, mod_articles_popular)
Article linker plugin for editors
New frontend template (atomic)
New backend template (bluestork)
New uploader for media manager
Mootools 1.2
Refactored backend
JForm
Nested Categories and category parameters
New views in frontend: categories, category
Lots of small code improvements, almost cut the code size in half while adding to the functionality
PHP 5.2 required, huge performance improvements, partially eaten up by new features => 1.6 will be faster than 1.5
