P.S.: Good News - All bugs, i have submitted, for the Joomla! installer and duplicate template styles in the lists seems to be fixed in upcoming Joomla 2.5.2 (comes only with two security fixes), 2.5.3, 2.5.4?

Update, March 6th [new JYAML 4.0.2 build uploaded]:

Ok... Joomla! 2.5.2 are very fast released yet and contains only two security fixes.
If you update to Joomla! 2.5.2 you need to download and re-install the current build of the JYAML System Plugin to fix the dublicate templates styles.

Update, March 15th [new JYAML 4.0.2 build uploaded]:

Same story again for Joomla! 2.5.3. The release includes only two security fixes.
If you update to Joomla! 2.5.3 you need to download and re-install the current build of the JYAML System Plugin to fix the dublicate templates styles.

If you update from Joomla! 2.5.0 to 2.5.1 you need to download the current build of the JYAML System Plugin (Version 4.0.1) and re-install it.
After this, the issues solved again.

Btw.: My Pull Requests of these bugs are commited and fixed on the Joomla! Platform on Github. I hope it will be merged to the Joomla! CMS in the next version.

In the last blog entry i have written Joomla! 2.5.0 has a bug in the template installer.
There are patch files included in in the JYAML system plugin for this issues. These files will be automatically patched on install.

JYAML 4.0.1 Stable contains 2 Bug-Fixes and 1 Feature request and from the tracker:

• Bug [#41]: CSS/JS (all static files) are not loaded.
• Bug [#44]: Image output are destroyed if a component use format=raw
• Feature [#43]: Support for NoNumber AdvancedModule
• TODO [#42]: Check is working with Joomla! 2.5 (including patch files for Joomla 2.5.0 template installer and styles view)

Update Note:
Before update to JYAML 4.0.1 make sure you have already updated to Joomla! 2.5.
And always make a backup of your template folder. Your changes can be lost. 

If you currently can't (or not want) update to Joomla! 2.5.0,
or when you still have issues like dublicate template styles or database entries, 
you can re-install only the JYAML System Plugin and the JYAML Library later again to install the specific Joomla! 2.5.0 patch files.

Please read the section Installation & Updates in the documentation how update your template.

Joomla! 2.5.0 has issues within the template and package installer!

I recommend to wait for the next Joomla! 2.5 version. I hope the fixes are included in 2.5.1.
Of course, you can use Joomla! 2.5.0 on a new installation, but it is dangerous if you update a existing template or a package includes a template.
This is a general issue and not only affected with JYAML. 

You can follow the sate of the bugs on Github:

• Installer Issue: https://github.com/joomla/joomla-platform/pull/777
• Duplicate Template Styles (form field): https://github.com/joomla/joomla-platform/pull/761
• Duplicate Template Styles (com_templates): https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/pull/93

If you want to update to Joomla 2.5.0. And when you need to update JYAML, you must do following steps.

1. Update only the JYAML Framework Library (manually or within the extension manager)
2. Update only the JYAML Framework System Plugin (manually or within the extension manager)
3. Do not update the JYAML Template or the Package. If you do this, the template can be overwritten, your changes can be lost and Joomla create duplicate database entries.
4. At least, open the template settings in the template manager, open the Upgrade tab and proceed the upgrade as described in the documentation.

JYAML and the great new YAML4 Framework

I'm currently work hard to implement YAML4. I do all and make many notes to make a update script to replace major things from YAML3. 

JYAML with YAML4 becomes the Version 4.5.0. I hope to i can release the version at end of February.

If you have made a template with JYAML4.0, with many adjustments you can send me your template folder as archive via E-Mail, if you would.
Because i need this to test the update script.

JYAML 4.0.0 Stable contains some Bug-Fixes for Joomla! 1.7, improvements and minor updates. The documentation for JYAML 4.0.0 also was updated.

Minor changes:

• Menu Subtitles now configurable in each menu item in the settings. The subtitle separator (like ##) was removed. This means, no page/menu title issues with other extensions.
• The Count Empty Modules option now is also available in each module. So you can enable it, e.g. a module contains no real content or is not counted for some other reasons.

New in stable:

• screen.responsive.css for Responsive Design with some examples.

Very important: Please read the update notes below before update.

JYAML 4.0.0 RC2 contains 5 Bug-Fixes and 1 new Feature from the tracker:

• Bug #16: Mutlilang redirection error
• Bug #17: HTML Tidy removes IE Conditional Comments
• Bug #18: Incorrect Button Text
• Bug #19: Incorrect interaction with JCE in Frontend Editing
• Bug #34: floatbox.gif not loaded
• Feature #20: Configurable modChrome styles (Documentation of Dynamic Positions, modChrome HowTo for JYAML4.x)
• Some different small improvements

And for now the first version of the documentation for JYAML 4.x is available in German and English.

Also in JYAML 4.0.0 RC2 a template upgrader is integrated. This makes updates of necessary and new files easier.

Update notes from JYAML 4.0.0 RC1 to 4.0.0 RC2

At first, please update the JYAML System Plugin (plg_system_jyaml.zip) only, before update all other JYAML extensions. If you not do this, all template files will be overwritten and all your changes will be lost forever, because a Bug in the Joomla! install adapter. The JYAML System Plugin from 4.0.0 RC2 prevent this bug.

When you have successful installed the JYAML System Plugin you can proceed the update.
Please read the section Installation & Updates in the documentation how update your template.

To update from 3.0.5 to 3.0.7 please read the update instructions to version 3.0.6. It's all the same.

For an update from 3.0.6 to 3.0.7 you must only update the JYAML component (com_jyaml.zip - 3.0.7). That's it.

Note: From now (6 July 2011) the 3.0.7 files has been updated in the download section.
There are unfortunately two files slipped from the 3.0.5 version in the archives. Sorry!

Please read the changelog for more detailed informations.

Update notes from JYAML 3.0.5 to 3.0.6

On first please read the update article in the documentation as well.

You can easily upgrade with the complete package (or alternatively the system plugin and the component separately). The existing files (except the template) are replaced automatically with the upgrade method.

The template must be updated as always by hand. Otherwise maybe you lost their own layout changes.

Note:
The message "template already exists" can be ignored after install the complete package. This only appears when a template is already installed with the name "hm_yaml. As mentioned above it must be updated manually.

Before the upgrade make a backup of your JYAML template, please.

Manually update of your JYAML template:

1. Download and unzip the JYAML standard template (hm_yaml).
2. Copy the folder "yaml" into your own template root foder to upgrade the YAML framework to version 3.3.1.
3. Copy and overwrite the file "html/pagination.php" to Fix the Issue #12
4. And finally you should be update the version number from 3.0.5 to 3.0.6 in the templateDetails.xml.

There have been no major changes. It have been fixed few bugs, implemented a accessible accordion with corresponding module style(chrome) and added a equal height method for MooTools based on YAML syncheight for jQuery.

Major Changes:

• JYAML Component removed. The template is now configurable in the template manager.
• Added JYAML Library. This is the main framework and includes all core files.
• Removed Designs and their folder structure. Because Joomla1.6 can handle multiple Template styles.
• jQuery removed by default. All script rewritten for MooTools and MooTools-More.
• All basemod_colX.css and patch_colX.css files are removed. Column order etc. now defined with the dynamic body css classes.
• For better overview all CSS subdirectories are removed. Instead the filenames has prefix names now.
