These days I visit a number of joomla club forum, basically the most asked question is whether their templates will support joomla 2.5 ? It’s no wonder, joomla 2.5 final version will be released, if the club’s templates, do not support 2.5, the user is not a small loss. But do not worry, several major joomla club have announced their support policy.

Joomla will release the next version, Joomla 2.5. why Joomla directly jumps into 2.5, Why there is no Joomla 2.0? What happen with Joomla 2.0? What’s the releases cycle and development strategy of joomla ?

Joomla 2.5 Beta1 has been released on 22 December 2011,Although it is only a test version, but you can install a new joomla 2.5 to test some new features to meet the official version of joomla 2.5 coming, then you can skillfully use these new features, without having to rush to learn!In this tutorials i’ll show you how to install joomla 2.5 step by step!

As the new six-month release cycle,Joomla 2.5 Beta1 come out!Joomla 2.5 is the direct upgrade for Joomla 1.7. Joomla 1.7 will be supported for critical security issues only for a period of one month after the release of Joomla 2.5. After that time, only Joomla 1.5 and Joomla 2.5 will be supported by the Joomla project. Note that Joomla version 2.5 is a long-term-support (LTS) release and will be supported for at least 18 months.
