A Joomla 3.7.1 release containing a security fix will be published on Wednesday 17th May, BUT you should update to VirtueMart 3.2.2 BEFORE updating to Joomal 3.7.1. VirtueMart 3.2 addresses significant changes from Joomal 3.6.5 to Joomla 3.7. If you were still running VM 3.0.18.x with Joomla 3.6.5 to avoid update problems, you will now be forced to update to Joomla 3.7.1. Everybody, regardless of the Joomla or VM 3 version used, should update to the latest VirtueMart version 3.2.2 on Joomla 3.7.0 in order to find and solve any compatibility problems prior to the mandatory Joomla 3.7.1 security release.

The new  VirtueMart 3.2.2 is mainly a bugfix release with very few new features. In VirtueMart 3.2.x the backend language behaviour changed. Previously VM always took the shop language for displaying the content in the VM administration views, regardless the selected backend language. Since VM 3.2 it uses the selected backend language. That created some confusion especially with language fallbacks, because managers had no indication whether or not they saw a language fallback. Now country flags are added to display the origin of the language string, when a language fallback is displayed. Some additional language options are now available. The shop language can now be set directly in the VirtueMart configuration. The language issue of the registration emails is fixed. Also we found a fix for the width of the chosen dropdowns.
Other minor features and bug fixes address quick-and-dirty written plugins, outdated relations and adjustments for joomla 3.7.0.
