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 ((Tiki26|Tiki 26.1)) is released, as per ((tw:Versions|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
* [http://getbootstrap.com/|Bootstrap 5], [https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/releases/tag/v5.0.0|which has been released in May 2021].
* ((Smarty)) 4, [https://github.com/smarty-php/smarty/releases/tag/v4.0.0|which was released in November 2021]
* ((Font Awesome)) 6, which [https://blog.fontawesome.com/font-awesome-6-2/|was released in February 2022]
* Adding support for PHP 8.0 and 8.1 while maintaining support for PHP 7.4. See ((requirements))

* 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
