Hi Ciaran,

I use Skylar-J4 on all my sites, plus some of your extensions. Everything works fine on Joomla 5.2.4 at the moment, but I still need to have the Backward Compatibility Plugin enabled. For the moment, this is not yet a problem. But in October 2025 the next major release, Joomla 6.0, will be released. Under J6, the current b/c plugin will no longer be available, with the consequence that users of your templates and extension will be stuck to J5. Therefore, my question: When will J5-native versions of your templates and extensions be available?

There is another issue building up: Template overrides. You use quite a number of template overrides for your templates (at least for Skylar-J4). This is no issue as long as the core files overridden don't change. But with each version of J5, there are more overrides to be checked. As an example: the update from J5.2.3 to J5.2.4 adds three more overrides to be checked. This check cannot be done by a normal user of your templates, but only by you or your team. That brings up my next question: Are you going to reduce the number of template overrides within your templates?

Regards,
Rolf
