Joomla 2.5 VM?

But there will definately be an updated version coming soon(ish). Usually the guys will release new appliances with the latest stable/supported version of software included (assuming they don't use software from the default repos - which they can't with Joomla). This would lead me to beleive that it will definatel be v2.something...

I strongly suspect that the guys plan to release a Joomla 2.5 appliance. But not sure when... So in the meantime updating is probably the go...

...and install Joomla 2.5 manually as you would on any other server. Only takes 5 minutes and it's ready to go. Also Joomla 3.0 is planned for September, Alpha 1 has been released 2 weeks ago.
