Will I be able to update SobiPro 1.0.x to 1.1?
Moving to SobiPro 1.1 from 1.0 is an upgrade. It should be very easy to upgrade your existing SobiPro installation. However, it is likely that some templates for SobiPro 1.0 will need modification to work with SobiPro 1.1.
For more information please read the upgrade instructions.
What's next?
As we put a lot of effort and time into the redesign of the administrator interface, the current documentation and all existing application need also to be revised. Although all applications should work on Joomla! 2.5 in a so called legacy mode.
This is a beta version and should not be used on production sites.
