Joomla Version: The Joomla Version Strategy Explained. Since the Joomla development cycle has changed to reflect industry ‘best practices’, the numbering convention of releases has also changed. Ron Severdia of the Production Leadership Team explains it for us. Sandy Ordonez asks some questions about the cycle.






Does it really matter if we skip number versions? I mean it’s just a number and going to 2.5 now (since it’ll be a long term release) really makes sense.
well explained! thankx
what happen with 6.7.8,8 numbers ?
WHY U DIDN”T TELL IT BEFORE :L))) IN THE JOOMLA HOME PAGE
i get too much @#$% in last year 1.5->1.6->1.7
I vote 2.5, where do we go to vote officially?
Love it, thanks Ron and Sandy
why the heck did they NOT give 1.6 the version 2.0? Would have saved a lot of headache
2.5 is the best option
for the new and great release circle.
Just do the 2.5
My vote is for 2.5 because the confusion, if any (nearly impossible after seeing this video), will only be short-term but will begin the process of communicating the new time-based development cycle, understanding which is more important, right away.
How bad would the code effect extensions and templates based on ST or LT?
