The major core features in the first T3 release are ported to this new version:

• Multiple layout system - layouts are built in blocks, each having distinctive styling and module positions.
• Mobile Ready - device detection capabilities implemented right inside framework making your website mobile-ready for devices such as Blackberry, Android, Palm, Windows Mobile and also iPhone devices.

The Joomla 1.6 is on horizon, the RC seem to be well planned sometimes on Aug/Sept.
Therefore upgrading existing templates to 1.6 + JAT3 built is currently our choice at the moment.

FYI, the 1.6 version of JAT3 is almost done now. Here is a quick screenshot of the T3 in 1.6 Admin panel

Looks great! Good work.

Do you mean JA will keep both joomla 1.5 and joomla 1.6 templates built in T3 v.2?
regards.

All of templates released from now on, it will be developed for both 1.5 & 1.6. You wont having any problem when upgrading your website to 1.6; we will provide the 1.6 version as soon as RC version is released.

For those are for 1.5 but running with old version of T3, it will be upgraded to 1.6 with new T3

This looks great, and I can hardly wait to install this and try out Purity II. However, the blank Framework installation package t3_framework_2_(2010_version).zip is missing a couple of files favicon.ico, index.html, and template_thumbnail.png at least, so it will not install.

The templateDetails.xml file includes:

<files>
<filename>component.php</filename>
<filename>favicon.ico</filename>
<filename>index.html</filename>
<filename>index.php</filename>
<filename>params.ini</filename>
<filename>template_thumbnail.png</filename>
<folder>core</folder>
<folder>info</folder>
</files>

But the zip file does not include an index.html, favicon.ico, or template_thumbnail.png. Please advise.

Hi,
the files have been updated and you can download the package again. Only the template.xml file is changed. You can even delete the reference of missing files from the template.xml file for now and install it.
