The Joomla Project announces the immediate availability of Joomla 1.5.17 [Wojmamni ama woobusani]. This is a priority release to correct two issues in version 1.5.16. Although there are no security issues fixed in this release, we consider it a security release because a security-related bug has been fixed and because many sites may be upgraded directly from 1.5.15 to 1.5.17.

The Development Working Group’s goal is to continue to provide regular, frequent updates to the Joomla community.

This module can be used as a replacement for the Virtuemart featured products, top products, random products or recent products modules. It displays product images as a 3 Dimensional Flash slideshow.

Unlike many Flash galleries, the slideshow content is generated dynamically from the product database. As the administrator you simply configure the module through the module parameters.

There are many options available with this module:-

* choice of featured products, top products, random products or recent products
* selected thumbnail size
* selected categories
* selected duration of slides
* choice of horizontal and vertical layouts for the thumbnails
* choose whether to auto-start show
* choose the 3 dimensional rotation of the images for a variety of 3D effects.
