Tiki 25.0 will be released in ---October-- December 2022, --the same month-- two months after [https://tiki.org/article495-We-Are-Celebrating-20-Years-of-Tiki|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)).

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]
* However, the PHP ((Requirements)) remain at version 7.4, the same as ((Tiki24)). See ((PHP8)).

!! 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
For more details see https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.1/migration/
