VirtueMart 2 STABLE launch date?

[Razva]

Hi,
I would like to start a new e-commerce website. It is very important to know which VirtueMart version to choose.
If VM2 will come in 2-3 weeks than I will wait. So is there any chance to know if I should wait or go with Joomla 1.5 and VM1.9?
Thanks?

...so I would wait

Ok so seems that Joomla 1.7 will be out in a couple of days.

1) Will VM RC2 work with J1.7?

2) Will we have a possibility to upgrade from RC2 to STABLE when STABLE will be out?

Thanks!

So often already explained, first here http://virtuemart.net/news and then in the forum.

As found on the forum:

1) yes, VM2 is compatible with J1.7

2) yes, VM2RC2 will have the option to get upgraded to VM2STABLE

Is that correct?

Unfortunately I didn't found any answer to the most important question: when will VM2STABLE be ready? One week? One month? Two? Three?

Thanks!

It is done, when it is done :-)

the final will be j1.7 compatible and we expect to release end of August 2011

Great, thanks!

Now if I would just receive a short "yes" or "no" to...

2) Will we have a possibility to upgrade from RC2 to STABLE when STABLE will be out?

Thanks in advance!

same question here

[Milbo]

We wanted to release this week a version, which we call already internally final, lacking some features we promised.

But atm we have 3 majog bugs left we want to solve first. For exampel the synchronising media, display of child products (prices are lacking and not visible in category views).
