History: Tiki24
Preview of version: 17
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. New Features and Improvements
(alphabetically sorted)
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)
1.3. Wiki Plugins
New or improved.
1.3.1. Plugin Figlet
New plugin. It allows you to create text banners in different fonts. The text banners are composed of a cloud of smaller letters in the manner of ASCII art.
You may display "TIKIWIKI" as below :
See PluginFiglet
1.4. SAML
Upgrade to version 4.x of PHP-SAML (Code not yet in trunk as of 2021-12-02, but work is almost finished). It will be bundled in Tiki for easy usage instead of available via Packages like older versions.
1.5. Other Minor Enhancements
1.5.1. H5P Advanced Customisation
2 new preferences to allow the addition of extra javascript and css to customise H5P content further, which was not possible before due to browser security (also in 23.1)
1.5.2. Calendar Improvements
Weekly recurring events in Calendar now support multiple days (also in 23.1)
1.5.3. Tabbed layout for category browsing
Finally 😁
1.5.4. Cookie Consent Improvements
New option to make the checkbox agree to third party cookies so users can agree to essential (Tiki) cookies without opting in to analytics or other "tracking" cookies from other providers (also in 23.1)
