Happy Anniversary to this thread!

My guess is that some legal issue associated with this delay.
Are you JW guys diverging ideas about company future after K2v3 out?
Perhaps a problem with some (copyright) code involved in K2v3?

Nothing is slower than lawsuits ...

Hello Krikor. We're right here.

Maybe I did not use the best words. When I say support, it is not about supporting the K2 version. K2 it was always perfect.

My question is "what is the impact on templates and structure to update a K2v2 version K2v3?".

I say this because in large projects structured on K2, we make several customizations and use plugins (which work very well). Depending on the launch period of the new version, and depending on the impact that this will cause the codes, you may need to work several hours and change many things to continue functioning as before. Note that the customer will not want to pay for it from here 1 month. The risk (and cost) in this case would be mine.

For this reason, I am afraid to continue working with K2 and take this risk. I preferred to look forward to the new version.

I hope that has now become easier to understand my question.

I'm not criticizing you, just presenting a doubt for the businesses of my company.

I get you.
In terms of compatibility with 3rd party extensions, I cannot say much. It really comes down to the devs of each extension.

My advice as a professional to a professional would be for the time being, until the launch of v3, use 2.7 for production sites which require a lot of 3rd party extensions.

Do not forget that v2 will NOT be abandoned. The 2.7 series will still continue to exist and it will be supported and actively developed.
You will not have to spend countless hours updating all your sites.

This will ensure BC compatibility for users who have sites with 3rd party extensions and will allow new sites to be developed with v3.

In this thread there are several mentions of K2 v2.7. On the download page the most recent version is 2.6.9. Where can we find v2.7 and what are the differences with 2.6.9?

2.7 is the DEV version of K2 and the last major release of the 2.x series.
You can find the repo here: github.com/getk2/k2
You can download it here: getk2.org/assets/get/

The major differences (among others) include a major revamp in the UI, sh404sef integration will be moved into a plugin, introduction of batch operations (like v3), performance enhancements and many more.

Hello Krikor,

Can you explain me please, what is DEV version? DEV version is a development version, that is still unstable. It is so? About the version K2 2.7 in this thread is writes over a year...

Can I DEV version use on a live site?
When will the stable version 2.7?
The latest stable version K2 2.6.9. is for Joomla 1.5(!!), 2.5 and 3.x. In version 2.7 will be removed support for extremely old version of Joomla 1.5 and 2.5?

Best regards,
Jan

The 2.7 can be used for production sites. To be 101% sure you should backup. I personally use it in production sites as well.

The 2.x series will continue to support older versions of Joomla! while 3.x will only support the latest version.

This means that if you are stuck on an older version and cannot upgrade/ migrate to Joomla! 3.x you will still be able to use K2 v2.x.

Thank you for the quick reply. I'm not a programmer, but if will not removed support for Joomla 1.5 and 2.5, is not worse performance?
