The Joomla Project is pleased to announce the availability of
Joomla 2.5 Beta 2 for download. Version 2.5 is the second release made within the new six-month release cycle that started with the delivery of Joomla 1.6 in January 2011.
What is this release for? There are several goals for this release:
To allow advance testing of sites and custom extensions so that site administrators and developers can report any problems before the final release.
To raise awareness that the end of the current development cycle is fast approaching.
To allow testing of the upgrade from version 1.7 to 2.5.0.
What is this release NOT for?This beta version of Joomla 2.5 Beta2 is
not suitable for production sites. It should be used
for testing only.
When is the final release due?
Joomla 2.5.0 GA (general availability) is due to be released on 24 January 2012. The planned milestone after this date are:
24 February 2012 - Joomla 1.7 reaches end of life and is no longer supported
April 2012 - Joomla 1.5 reaches end of life
September 2012 - Next version of Joomla is released
Please note that dates may be subject to change depending on availability of volunteers and circumstances beyond our control.
How do I upgrade to Joomla 2.5?Upgrading from Joomla 1.7 to Joomla 2.5.0 will be very easy. Most users can use the automatic update or install the update archive using the Extension Manager: Install option.
If you are using Joomla 1.5 then you will still be required to migrate your site using the jUpgrade component.
