VirtueMart 2 STABLE launch date?

[sitebuildernow]

Thank you for all of your hard work and dilligence.

Once launched, will there be a 1.1.9=>2.0 upgrade option?

[Milbo]

There is already a migrator built in vm2. Please test the new version provided here http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=85643.0 .

When in this version not new major bugs appear you can consider it as the Final.

where is the list of new features ?

thank you

[HeartFreedom]

When should we expect for the stable release of VM2?

[jeorcal]

is there a link to get it ?

[pinjosi]

They are working really hard on the stable version. There is no ETA yet, so we need to wait till its done.

When they have an ETA we will see it on the homepage. i am sure about that.

So keep your horses and wait please for these hard working people.

Greets,

The Pin

[Milbo]

The Eta is the end of this month.

my client doesn't want to wait any more, I think I have to go back to VM2 version G.

[Milbo]

We released today the H version, but you will see in your virtuemart anyway :-)

Is their perhaps a changelog, i see the included 1 is still for V1.5.

How close are we to the final release, G was pretty good once i figured out that yootheme was causing my biggest problem, the last major thing was the products module broke the page when checking out, obviously i can prevent its display, would be nice if i didn't have to though.

THanks for all the great and hard work guys.

What do you mean with this?

The update fail for me on Joomla 1.7 with:

XML: Document is empty
XML: Start tag expected, '<' not found

I tried to upload the update manually as an extension - the same thing. So the auto-update doesn't work. The only way I was able to update is by downloading the whole H package and installing that - seems to work

Let me ask the same question, but in a different way.

What would be the downside of beginning development with H right now?  IOW, if we start building a store, and a couple features are still buggy but we can live with them or work around them, won't that eventually be corrected by slipstreaming incremental fixes along the way?  Or would corrections require completely reinstalling and starting over from scratch?

The point is that for those of us who are under pressure to have a site ready in time for the upcoming Christmas season, we can't wait until November to only then begin updating everything.  It would be greatly beneficial to many of us to be able to begin basic configuration, populating items and testing payment gateways sooner, rather than later.

VM does not do incremental updates, i updated from G to H today and spent 2 hours putting the styles back together, would of been much longer but i had the sense to do as many of the modifications as i could in an alternate style sheet. Your database will remain in tack, but any custom styling you implement will be replaced.
