New Team, new Direction, new Version, new Vision
Greetings to everyone,
We know that it seems from outside that virtuemart didn't evolve much during the last months and that development slowed down. But we had a lot of changes in the virtuemart team in the last months. It is like the first generation relays virtuemart to the second.
The founder and former leader of virtuemart Sören is from now on administrating the sites and provides the platform we used to develop VirtueMart. Sören didn't have the time lately to steer the project. So we decided to take 3 leaders - one of them will be around almost everytime. The ship is now steered by Rick (bass_28), Max (milbo), and Roland (rolandd).

Finally VirtueMart 1.1.4 has been released - a recommended maintenance update, which provides numerous bug fixes for problems discussed in the forum and on our bug tracker (see the changelog for full details).
Full installation packages and patch packages are available on the download page.
To update to version 1.1.4, login to your VirtueMart administration area and choose "Check for Updates" from the "Admin" menu, then click the "Check now!" button and follow the instructions there. (Or, you can download the 1.1.4 patch package directly , save it to your local hard drive, and choose to "Upload a Patch Package" from the "Upload a Patch" tab.)
If you are using VirtueMart 1.1.0, you must first update to VirtueMart 1.1.1 before being able to use the auto-update to VirtueMart 1.1.4.
Together with the new VirtueMart version we have also updated the "VirtueMart eCommerce Bundle" - a comfortable way to install Joomla! and VirtueMart at the same time - for all those who want to set up a completely new site (or when migrating).
