Tiki25

Tiki 25.0 will be released in -October November 2022, the same month one month after Tiki turns 20 years old!

It is a Standard Term Support (STS) version and will be supported until Tiki 26.1 is released, as per the Tiki lifecycle policy.

Work will start on it in 2022-02, once the release process of Tiki24 is started. Since this is a post-LTS, it has major changes, such as an upgrade to

• Bootstrap 5, which has been released in May 2021.
• Smarty 4, which was released in November 2021
• Font Awesome 6, which was released in February 2022
• Adding support for PHP 8.0 and 8.1 while maintaining support for PHP 7.4. See requirements

Browser support

Given the fact our themes and Smarty templates rely on Bootstrap 5 heavily, the browser support for Tiki 25 follows the same path:

• Dropped Internet Explorer 10 and 11
• Dropped Microsoft Edge < 16 (Legacy Edge)
• Dropped Firefox < 60
• Dropped Safari < 12
• Dropped iOS Safari < 12
• Dropped Chrome < 60
