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

See Real User Measurement

1.2. Interledger Protocol payments (ILP)

Interledger is an open and inclusive payments network. The Interledger Protocol (ILP) is an open protocol suite for sending payments across different ledgers.

See Interledger Protocol payments

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)

Weekly recurring events in Calendar now support multiple days (also in 23.1)

1.5.3. Tabbed layout for category browsing

Finally 😁
