Joomla extensions upgrade system


Joomla has modified its policy about how extensions must upgrade in the future. From next year, all extensions listed will have to apply the internal Joomla upgrade system. This means you will be informed at your Joomla panel whenever a new release of your installed extension is available. We've not decided yet if with this change we'll change the method of download as well, if it can be automatically done from your Joomla backend, maybe adding a control key, or if you should download from your user panel as it works now. As is still to be decided, we look forward your comments as usual!.
