Any update?  I know I'm not the only impatient one here, so sorry for nagging.  I need to move on with developing a site and it seems pointless to build in 1.0 given how antiquated it will soon be. 

Hi da8iwr,

It won't work now with J!1.5, but if you buy it, you'll be able to upgrade it. Remember that we offer lifetime upgrades, including the upgrade to J!1.5

Best regards,

Merav:
When you are ready many of us are testing sites with 1.5 and would be glad to do some alpha or beta testing!

Hi Ricardo
Thanks for that, i know these things take a lot of time. Also just for others, i also sent an email to IJoomla and they replied promptly with


So i wouldn't keep pestering these guys, let them do their jobs, as I'm sure they will let us all know when it is done, dont forgot they want your sale, so will send us all info about it.

I have the same problems with www.virtuemartfrooglefeed.com, everybody is asking me when it will work with virtuemart 1.1 and J1.5, but VM haven't even made a stable version yet!!

Good luck, and I'm sure you will see my sale go through very soon
Regards
Ian

I do not want to sound like a draconian however why oh why anyone want to upgrade as soon as a version is out ?
Maybe the same that are compulsive to buy windows vista without knowing the downfall of it..
No one forces you to upgrade and on joomla forum as all plugins developer site forum users were warn to wait as it may not be working with new version.Now you upgrade do like all others wait till it done Next time a version is release do the smart thing and wait till all your plugins are compatable with it to upgrade it simple and you do not sound like a child that jump to the first upgrade without thinking of the consequences.... 

Even though i just said don't complain and give IJoomla breathing time above, i would just like to say why people want to use J1.5 rather than 1.0 as it looks like some people are giving different answers to why here.

I have just built a website from scratch with J1.0 and the magazine component (still being built), the problem is when i want to upgrade to J1.5 for security and other component compatibility reasons. If i build it from scratch out of J1.5 then adding the fixes is very simple in the future, but upgrading to 1.5 from 1.0 is a nightmare and sometimes not perfect throwing errors, especially with other components involved.

All components will be produced now for 1.5 and not 1.0, which means the site i have just built will have all 1.0 components, which will soon have huge security holes, as the developers concentrate on the 1.5 versions and abandon the 1.0 versions.

So even though J1.5 has a few teething problems, it is much easier to upgrade as the fixes come out, than to try and convert a whole 1.0 site and all added components to 1.5 later on when more stable (even though it is stable now).

Joomla 1.0 is a mix of Mambo and other code crashed together to build a CMS system. Virtuemart is a mix of Shop. It has large problems in security, and future development, which is why they produced J1.5 from the ground up.

Joomla 1.5 is completely new, built knowing the pitfalls of 1.0, and the fixes and issues looked at in the development and structural stages, which makes it easier for developers to work with and more secure for the webmasters to use.

I am using Joomla 1.5 on three commercial sites, and to be honest haven't found any noticeable issues with it yet, and neither have my clients. So I'm not sure why people on here are saying not to use it. 99% of most websites need very simple administration, add, edit, delete pages, maybe a forum and Gallery which works perfect with Fireboard and RSGallery and Virtuemart 1.1 which i have working perfectly on 2 of my J1.5 sites and other addition parts are catching up.

So people are using Joomla 1.5 as it is easier to add fixes, than to upgrade later on, J1.5 is without a doubt the way forward.

It has been more than a month since Merav said the programmers will have Magazine 2.1 ready for Joomla v1.5 in "2 weeks".  Now she is saying a few months. 

I don't want to go back to V1.0.15 of Joomla just to use Magazine component, because the content will not migrate automatically. 

Joomla v1.5 is SO MUCH Better.  Going back to V1.0.15 and then to Joomla v1.5 just for iJoomla will mean total rebuilding of my sites. 

It is very disappointing to pay for software that just doesn't work as advertised.   

I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO FIND THESE THINGS OUT AFTER INSTALLATION.  PUT IT IN THE DOCUMENTATION, BETTER YET ON THE FRONT PAGE OF THE WEBSITE.   

SEE BELOW FOR A REAL & HONEST STATEMENT THAT WE SHOULD BE TOLD UP FRONT.
