Hi,
I know someone is working to make VM compatible with J6.
I wonder if there is a timeline.

Hi,
I'm currently testing the beta version, which is already quite close to a final release. From my perspective, there has been significant progress.

That said, I don't think moving to Joomla 6 is a necessity at this point. In real-world usage you won't see any noticeable performance difference. On top of that, most VirtueMart extensions will need updates anyway, since Joomla 6 drops backward compatibility for many legacy plugins and addons.

Joomla 5 is supported until the end of 2027, so there is plenty of time. There's no real reason to rush the migration.
