: Is there a permalink to the latest version of Joomla (zip archive)? I'm trying to automate WHM to download and install Joomla into any new cPanel accounts I create, rather than doing it manually

@Cugini213

Try this,

For Long Term Support (LTS) branch -( Recommended) Stable release
update.joomla.org/core/list.xml

Short term support (STS) branch
update.joomla.org/core/sts/list_sts.xml

Testing versions.
update.joomla.org/core/test/list_test.xml

All these XML files have link to their details zip files.

You have to look at the last node of each XML file for getting latest version.

Hope it helps..

Sadly unlike WordPress and other content managements Joomla as far as I know have opted not to use latest.zip but rather use a version with the file name.

Your best bet would be to subscribe to Joomla's RSS feed at feeds.joomla.org/JoomlaSecurityNews and look out for new updates then login to your administrator panel and do the click update.

WordPress now auto updates...

It's worth mentioning that WordPress as of 3.7.1 includes a automated and unattended update feature, maybe Joomla will follow suit.
