So after many years of development, on August 17 2021 Joomla 4 has finally been made available.
More details are available at the Joomla website which you can find here.
For those of you that already have Joomla 3.x websites, be warned that although it appears to be a one click upgrade process; it most definitely is not! A number of the extensions that you might use are likely not to be compatible just yet, so take some time to consider your upgrade process.
Indeed I decided to start from scratch with this site, but using some SQL skills I have ported all my previous articles across, (for what it's actually worth!). In time I'm sure that someone will write an extension to make the process far simpler.

Run on over to www.joomla.org/announcements/release-news/5546-joomla-3-3-0-released.html, and you'll see the latest version of Joomla has been released.
After a brief run through it would seem that although there are some really nice headline features such as a shift to JQuery and a greater focus on Microdata; this release is more a case of releasing code in to the core rather than usable functionality.

So today sees the release of Joomla 3.2. Whilst this is still a point release, Joomla 3.2 is one of the Joomla foundations largest release ever, because of the sheer number of bug fixes and new features. There have been over 1000 commits made to the code, with 50 different people contributing to the project.
Whilst bug fixes are incredibly important there are some incredible new features. More information is available in the release notes.

The Joomla! project has released version 3.0.1 which is a security release for the newly released Joomla! 3. As there was a small error in the update code, you will need to install a patch before doing the update to Joomla! 3.0.1. There are more details available at http://www.joomla.org/announcements/release-news/5468-joomla-3-0-1-released.html.

Joomla 3 has been released!
This is the latest version of my favourite Content Management System, and promises a whole raft of new features as detailed at http://www.joomla.org/3/
The general recommendation seems to be that if you have an existing Joomla 2.5 site that is working, stick with it. However, if you want to create a new site without a great need for extensions, then it's probably worth a look.
At the moment there aren't many extensions available, but this will definitely change as time moves on.
