Tiki25

Tiki 25.0 was released in December 2022, shortly after Tiki turned 20 years old!

Here is announcement: https://tiki.org/article497-Biggest-Tiki-Release-Ever-Tiki-25

You can see the development page at : https://dev.tiki.org/Tiki25 and all the code commits here: https://gitlab.com/tikiwiki/tiki/-/commits/25.x/

Because of all the enhancements and changes, you should do more than usual testing before upgrading.

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

Since this is a post-LTS, it has major changes, such as an upgrade to

Bootstrap 5, which was released in May 2021.
Smarty 4, which was released in November 2021
Font Awesome 6, which was released in February 2022
However, the PHP Requirements remain at version 7.4, the same as Tiki24.
- Support for PHP 8 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 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
