Details: Category: News; Published: 08 January 2015

Joomla! 2.5 reached end of support

If you're still using Joomla 2.5, you sure noticed by now that this series reached end of support date by the end of last year. That means there will no longer be any security or bug fixes for that version. Obviously, you don't want to stay on an unsupported version of your CMS and should update to Joomla 3 as soon as possible.
