Tiki24

Tiki 24.0 LTS will be released in February 2022. It is a Long Term Support (LTS) version and will be supported until February 2027 as per the Tiki lifecycle policy

It will be a shorter development cycle and smaller release than Tiki22 and Tiki23, and focused more on refinement of many recently contributed features.

As of 2021-07-18, it is not clear if PHP 8.x will be supported. All the Tiki code was updated long before the release of PHP 8.0, but some of the dependencies have issues.

1.1. Real User Measurement

This new feature reuses a JavaScript library called boomerang that measures the page load time experienced by real users, commonly called RUM (Real User Measurement). With this feature, you find out exactly how fast your users think your site is.

Apart from page load time, boomerang measures performance timings, metrics and characteristics of your user's web browsing experience

1.2. Interledger Protocol payments (ILP)
