So according the blog article you posted, in one week after Brazil event, you will release 3.0? Is that right?

I think Fotis Evangelou wrote "the week after the event" ... that means from today.

Within days, weeks, months or years ???

the week after the first year after the second month after 4 days after the event.

or later.

I am also very interested in the release of 3.0

A couple of questions.

1. Does anyone know if there is an upgrade path from 2.6.9? If so what will it be like?

2. If download the k2 dev version from GitHub github.com/joomlaworks/k2-v3-dev-build will i be able to upgrade it to the stable version when released?


I am pretty sure I know the answers just looking for confirmation, so I do not put in hours of work only to have to start over when 3.0 is officially released.

Thanks! -- Steven

K2 guys at last Joomla Day said we can easily upgrade any v2.x to new V3, including old templates.

Also said the last beta is "dirty and ugly".

I'm waiting months for V3, so 1 more week is nothing. Better to keep V2 until next few days.

Very cool and thanks for the reply.

I am starting a new site today and was hoping I could install 2.6.9 and then upgrade to 3.0 when it was ready.

Great to have confirmation.

Thanks! -- Steven

I've been waiting for long as I can remember, just because of ImageMagick support. One week more wait is OK. Really hope it is then ready and stable. :)

They said:

- total control over k2 item images attributes;
- Multiple image galleries for each k2 items;
- Multiple videos for each k2 items.

This will be the longest week from last year or so...

Its strange that we don't have any official reply yet, hope someone reply to know if it going to get released as promised or it will have a delay. Ty in advance!

Guys I think that you must chill down a little. Realize that this is an open source project and you are not paying customers. You have to be thankful for the whole effort that joomlaworks did and still do. The irony comments are not helpful at all.
If you don't like the whole situation you can choose another cck for your projects. If you do like k2 just wait till its ready.
Simple as that.

I think you are right and wrong.
You are right about the irony comments, they don't help at all and probably they lead to the opposite.
You are wrong that people in here are not paying customers. Most of Joomlaworks's customers in other extensions (like myself) are buying them because of K2. I wouldn't buy SIG Pro if it wasn't that closely bonded with K2.
I really don't mind paying also for a Pro version of K2, but being late for more than 1 year is not something common.
I dare to say that the delay of K2 version 3 is even hurting Joomla's reputation since it is so very commonly used in Joomla projects.

I apologize for my comment about the delay . perhaps an outburst on the endless wait .

Certainly I will be another pro supporter on K2 as I did on another JW extension before, excellent by the way.

According to Krikor Boghossian Lefteris Kavadas at Jdaydr15 the K2 pro will be available 1 month after free version is available to the public.

Hello Luciano,

I do not really remember making this comment (about the timeframe).
It could be a translation issue. What I commented on based on a attendant's question was: the actual launch will be after we get back home (10.500 km) and we get over the jet lag.

As for the PRO, thank you for your interest but I cannot really share an ETA.

As for the official reply as some users asked, it is impossible to reply on a plane or during 30hr flights.

PS. Thank you all for interest and feedback in v3.

Hello Mr. Krikor,

Nice to see you here again, yes the comment about PRO ETA came from translated audio, thank you for your time clarifying this subject.

Due to our different accents and me speaking a bit (a lot) too fast in the presentation the translator was having a hard time understanding us. They did a terrific job nonetheless.

Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

Huge K2 fan and thanks for all the work.
Looking forward to the Pro Version when it is released.

@Krikor Is the estimated release of K2 around September 11 - 13? No hurry, I am just looking forward to the release and excited to get started on a couple new k2 based sites.

Thanks so much! -- Steven

Steven realistically speaking, I do not think so.
Jetlag is not helping and I do not personally think that we can publish it over the weekend.

When are you starting on your projects exactly?

From your replies i understand that the release is imminent, and it's only matter of days of you to retun back home from the trip to Brazil and release the package. I am also want to start a new project with K2, that originally i was thinking to do it with ZOO, but from what i hear and see for K2 3.0, i want to test it and see if it can suit my needs. Ty for the reply on the thread, keep up the good work

Yes, it is imminent.
You can still start with K2 V3, but the frontend templates will need some tweaking.

@Steven This applies to you too. You can experiment with the 3.0 version but the front-end is not ready yet. I can however provide you with templates that you can use them as a starting point before the release.
