VM2 and j1.6

[Roues]

Theres not one single advance or new feature worth changing from Joomla 1.5 to 1.6, yes I've tested it too and pls correct my ignorance, but I really dont see anything worth changing.

For example, one of the most useful innovations in Joomla 1.6+ it's Alternative Layouts
Now in the template, you can not just override default views, but also create your own:

\templates\template\html\com_virtuemart\category\default.php
\templates\template\html\com_virtuemart\category\mycoolcategoryview.php
\templates\template\html\com_virtuemart\virtuemart\default.php
\templates\template\html\com_virtuemart\virtuemart\mycoolfrontview.php

Dont use j1.6. Joomla has to main series. The old, but proven j1.5 and the new line with j1.6 -j1.7-2.5 (1.8 is renamed to 2.5).

Vm2 is supporting both series, the latest j1.5 and the latest j1.7 and higher. So update your page to j1.7 and install then vm2.

Or in other words we support the LTS (Long-Term-Support) and the lates STS (Short-Term-Support).

Concerning the italian language files see here: http://forum.vmitalia.net/index.php?topic=8389.0
VM2 RC1.9.8.G is here: http://dev.virtuemart.net/attachments/download/322/virtuemart1.9.8.RC2G_extract_first.zip
Unzip the downloaded file first and then install the two seperate .zip files with the Joomla installer.

We are now in November 2011. Any news on VM2 working with J1.6? Or J1.7?
I am still developing everything in J1.5.23 and VM1.1.9 but am of course getting worried that support will fall away for these soon.

Just download virtuemart1.9.8.RC2M_extract_first.zip from here: http://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/files and see if it works for you. VM2 is J1.7.x compatible for a while already. J1.6.x is not supported.
