From Joomla 3 (or 3.4) will there be a one-click update?

Question

I have one clear question:

Will updating from Joomla 3.4 to any future versions including 3.4.x to 3.5.x (((to 4.x.y and ANY future versions))) have ONE-CLICK UPGRADES?

Or 3.x.y to 4.x.y will still have hard instructions like updating from 2.5 to 3 ?

Answer 1

Joomla as I understand are no longer doing the normal process like so:

• 2.5 (Long Term)
• 3.0 (Short Term)
• 3.5 (Long Term)
• 4.0 (Short Term)
• 4.5 (Long Term)

Instead they will me using the Semantic Versioning process.

The Joomla Roadmap shows you the upcoming versions:

So from now on, it will be as follows:

• Major updates (e.g 4.0) - Big API changes. A migration process will be required.
• Minor updates (e.g 3.5, 3.6) - 1 click update
• Patch updates (e.g 3.5.1, 3.5.2) - 1 click update

So basically every Joomla 3.x version will be a 1-click update, however, I would still suggest looking through the changelog provided for each minor release, just to be on the safe side.
