To upgrade, it means to change and to customize..
Some of the work which has to be done:
Overall upgrade
Upgrade of the Joomla core 4.x is just one step to be up to date. There is lots of work behind it.
Typography changes
By means of template change, new possibilities of typography are available. This all has to be changed to be able to get advantage of it.
Code upgrade
New core, different structure and stock component. It just cant work all together at the first time. Quite a lot of changes in the code has to be done to have it working.
Site 3D-Sphere

The idea for a portal with 3D content and the name "3D-Sphere " came at the end of 2009.

Over the time the concept was changed many times to create a lightweight site which a lot of information and tutorials to make it easy.
