Virtuemart support for J!2.5

[MGHollander]

Hi,

From the topic "When can I use VirtueMart with Joomla 3" I understand that there is no release date for Virtuemart 3. Now I'm wondering until when Virtuemart for J!2.5 is supported since the support for J!2.5 stops in 2015.

Regards,

Seem to remember Max mentioning a year or so ..

but .. VM3 will run on J2.5 so in theory if you still run J2.5 for a while just upgrade (when released - cant be so long now)  to VM3.0

"We will ensure the fixing of all security related bugs in the delivered Joomla, VirtueMart core and VirtueMart extensions."

This includes joomla 2.5. Atm we do not recommend for big shops j3, because some performance tests show that j3 is slowing down the store. But I would start with vm3 on j2.5, actually. The only thing we have todo for vm3 are one migrator script (stockable plugin to the new child variants) and to adjust the sample data to show the new features.
