Joomla 5.0 Alpha 2 - ¡Nuevas ideas añadidas a Joomla 5!

El Proyecto Joomla se complace en anunciar la disponibilidad de Joomla 5.0 Alpha 2 para pruebas.

¡El primero de la serie 5.x de Joomla! Tomando todo lo bueno de Joomla 4.x y llevándolo al siguiente nivel. Haciendo que Joomla sea rápido, accesible, seguro, extensible y tuyo

¿Para qué es este lanzamiento?

Hay dos objetivos principales para los lanzamientos Alpha:

Proporcionar a los desarrolladores la base para probar sus extensiones e informar cualquier problema mucho antes del lanzamiento final.
Permitiendo a los usuarios descubrir las nuevas funciones introducidas en Joomla 5.0

Para obtener una lista completa de los problemas de compatibilidad con versiones anteriores conocidos para la versión 5.0, consulte Problemas potenciales de compatibilidad con versiones anteriores en Joomla 5 en el sitio de documentación.

¿Para qué NO es este lanzamiento?

Esta versión alfa de Joomla 5.0 no es adecuada para sitios de producción, es solo para pruebas.

¿Dónde conseguirlo?

What are the plans for Joomla 5.0?

Currently, we’re at the start of the journey of Joomla! 5.0. With Joomla! 5.0 as a new major version we plan to create a cleaned-up foundation for the future of Joomla!. There are several projects which, with your help, could become part of Joomla! 5.0, if they are release-ready by Joomla 5.0 Beta:

Update the system requirements to PHP 8.1 & MySQL 8.0.13+, MariaDB 10.4+ and PostgreSQL 12+
Bootstrap 5.3
Codemirror 6
B/C plugin for deprecations - #40664
Joomla! Cookie Manager - Project Repository
Different SEO improvements - Project Repository
Heavily code cleanups - Check PRs
(optional) Several Rector rules to support 3rd party developers (Esta dirección de correo electrónico está siendo protegida contra los robots de spam. Necesita tener JavaScript habilitado para poder verlo.)

How can you help Joomla 5.0 to develop?

To help ensure the 5.0 release and our major features are “production-ready”, we need your help testing releases and reporting any bugs you may find at issues.joomla.org.

Most of all, we encourage extension developers to roll up their sleeves, seek out bugs and test their extensions with Joomla 5.0 and communicate their experience.

Where can I find documentation about Joomla 5?

There are some tutorials to help you with Joomla 4. You can find the existing ones, like creating a Plugin or a Module for Joomla 4, namespaces conventions, prepared statements, using the new web asset classes and many more in https://docs.joomla.org/Category:Joomla!_5.x

We encourage developers to help write the documentation about Joomla 5 on docs.joomla.org to help and guide users and other extension developers.

A JDocs page will help developers to see the existing documentation, and the documentation still needed.

We invite you to check it regularly, update it and provide the missing content: https://docs.joomla.org/JDOC:Joomla_4_Tutorials_Project

Most of the feature documentation will be needed once we have reached Beta (feature freeze).
