Not finished yet, but Im getting there. (This is the Joomdev version).

Today I finally pass from the last Joomdev 2.5.4 Astroid to the NEW ASTROID V2.5.13 and also update the main template, Template Zero V2.5.13 with success.
I will update to 2.5.14 later

Template-wise, everything went without a hitch even with all the custom work that I did on template Zero, not one problem.!

I first update only the framework and the template After.
I encounter a few little problems with CSS styling to my breadcrumbs modules and both eShop, and Event Booking.

Some Modifications:
• In eBooking some info was presented with the Bootstrap column system (e.g. col-md-3). Ebooking is using a “form-row” to their columns. This form-row was losing its flex abilities (when I update the framework only). I simply add a CSS .form-row { display: flex;} to fix it.

• Also some input (Checkbox, radio buttons…) were looking weirds, also in ebooking, they were big and distorted, I fix that.

Just few other little modifs and everything is fine now.

When this is online, i will give a bunch of time to the great group here that recognized Astroid for what it is. Simply the most modern, performant and Joomla friendly Framework ever.
