What is the status of Joomla! 2.5?
Version 2.5 of the Joomla! CMS is a Long Term Support release and support for it will continue until shortly after the release of Joomla 3.5 scheduled for Spring 2014. Joomla 2.5 users do not need to migrate to Joomla 3.1.
But if user want to convert from Joomla 2.5 to the version 3.x, this will be just a one-click upgrade from Joomla 2.5 to any Joomla 3 version. You can use FAQ on updating from 2.5.x if desired.

What is the status of Joomla! 1.5?
Support for Joomla 1.5 ended in April of 2012. It means that your site will continue to work as it always has but not support, no new versions for Joomla 1.5, so you won’t be getting bug fixes or security fixes. For this reason, it’s recommended to migrate from 1.5.
To move from 1.5 to Joomla 3.x is not simple. There are two recommended ways for you:
- Migrating from Joomla 1.5 to Joomla 2.5 and then upgrading to Joomla 3.x
- Moving directly from J1.5 to J 3.x, you can user two good extensions that make the process easier: jUpgrade and SP Upgrade
