Joomla 6

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.

Many thanks for the answer.

Is there any news on that?
