 It's official. The Joomla 1.0.x series support will end July 22, 2009, as stated in an official post by Wilco Jansen [An old friend comes of age]. I'm sure this information will be received differently amongst the millions of Joomla users, but it's a good thing, believe me. Having to support two versions takes a ton of extra time for everyone, from the core team to our club. Joomla 1.0.x was fantastic and laid the groundwork for everything Joomla is now, but it is far less customizable and flexible. If nine months is enough time to birth a baby, it's enough time to put together a migration plan. With this announcement, you can be sure that developers will be releasing 1.5 versions of their extensions, if they haven't already. If not, it's probably not a project you should be following anyway.
So with that I make the official announcement that we will also stop developing and support 1.0.x versions of our template/extensions on the same date, July 22, 2009.
