    It is, yes. That's what Dody has been calling v6.

    are the v5.4 templates compatible with INDEXU Deluxe?

    As far as I know, no. But they could be partially compatible.

    We'll need to wait and see I suppose.

    Prior to Dody adding a 'wordpress style plugins for Mods' I was using a 5.4 theme on it. The only problem I found with it at that point was Bidding wouldn't work without adding some code to it.

    But then again, alot could have changed since then, especially with the plugins being added.

    template is reduced, i removed _ok.html and the similar one, and make one generic.html.
    i know it's painful to make changes 100s files.

    also as indexu now use gettext and that generic.html, it's hardly to pass page title (the one in top window bar) inside smary tag, so i populate them in page_titles.php

    also, we add plugin hook inside template file and php as well.

    plugin system is not final, we're still testing in a few more cases.

    Can you please explain this in more detail? Are you talking about page <title>s? If so, does this mean that in versions earlier than 6.0, custom <title>s, arduously developed, will not carry over? Apologies if I'm misunderstanding?

    I think it's clear that Dody said page titles are pulled from a single source and not out of each page.

    I apologize for being thick ... but I still don't understand. Will current, uniquely written meta <titles> carry over? And second, will the new system allow for uniquely written, page specific <titles>?

    Dody hasn't said anything about meta tags. As for titles they will be pulled from a single souce, similar to how settings.php works in 5.4 so all page titles will need to be in that page.

    Okay ... but when language like: "page title (the one in top window bar)" ... is used, it typically pertains to meta titles <title> ... this is what shows in your "top window bar."

    Yes, the title, as in <title>your title here</title>. They will all be found in page_titles.php

    Okay, so, as per my earlier question:
    Will current, uniquely written meta <titles> carry over? And second, will the new system allow for uniquely written, page specific <titles>?

    The answer is no. <title>s, as I am really trying to understand, will now be based on some kind of generic formatting.

    If this is the case, this is a significant drawback.

    Again, I apologize if I'm not understanding.

    If all your current titles are in a file called page_titles.php then yes. Titles are already "generic" unless you change them. The next version will be the same thing but in a different place.

    You're not forced to upgrade. Plus users have already been informed that version 6 won't be compatible with 5.4 themes. I'm not understanding why you're stuck on page titles since the entire theme system will be changing.
