It’s a move to a better versioning system than in the past. There are some minor features, which for Joomla are pretty helpful, but nothing to write home to mum about.

Long story short however, it’s the next step for Joomla. Stay on board or fall off.

Does that mean you have only 4 bugfix-release possibilities? 😀

To me it sounds like completely crazy version numbering. When do you then decide when a System will be ready for a LTS?

And how long will a LTS be?
If you want, you can also take a look how other CMS handles that like TYPO3: http://typo3.org/teams/core/resources/maintenance-policy/

I am a longtime (mambo) joomla user, call me a fan…

but v2.5 makes absolutely no sense to me. Even 2.0 would imply (and promise!) a total new experience and feature set! And by feature set, I mean visible new functions for the user… not under-the-hood-stuff for geeks and coders. Period.

Don´t get me wrong here, I am addicted to Joomla… but if a 2.x or higher release does not bring any major and true improvements (i.e. content types, fields, sub-templates for articles/categories…), I don´t believe in it anymore. Than i will definitely switch.

Luis is right. The vote indicate that we expect to see new release of 2.5 on Jan next year. It is really an exciting news!

I am with you Matt all these changes are confusing even for the experts and I can imagine how painful can be for the general user.

By the way the next release will be Joomla 2.5 and not 2.0 and that’s according to the Joomla Site.

Check this link: http://community.joomla.org/blogs/leadership/1479-the-version-votes-are-in.html

@Martin Ehrentraut – I think there will be an extension where you are going to be able to migrate from Joomla 1.5 to Joomla 2.5 but of course it will be more easier to upgrade from Joomla 1.7 to Joomla 2.5
