Tiki 25.0 will be released in --October-- December 2022, shortly after [https://tiki.org/article495-We-Are-Celebrating-20-Years-of-Tiki|Tiki turned 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)).
** Support for ((PHP8)) will be added in ((Tiki26)), and it is likely that the minimum PHP version will increase for ((Tiki27)) LTS (perhaps to PHP 8.1). So if you expect to not be able to upgrade beyond PHP 7.4, you should stay with ((Tiki24)) LTS. Please see ((tw:Versions)).

!! 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/
