Hi,
Joomla 6 is coming—and we’re getting ready.
At JoomlArt, we’ve started preparing our frameworks, templates, and extensions to fully support Joomla 6. This update is part of our long-term commitment to helping our users stay secure, fast, and compatible with the latest Joomla innovations.
Below is a clear overview of our upgrade roadmap across the JoomlArt network.
What’s New in Joomla 6?
Joomla 6 introduces important architectural and user experience improvements, including:
- New Menu Manager with nested menus and simplified configuration.
- Refactored Codebase for better performance and maintainability.
- Improved Accessibility & Multilingual Tools.
- Package Manager Enhancements for easier extension and template handling.
- Cleaner API Integration and modern development practices.
