Where can I find documentation about Joomla 4?
We have tutorials to help you with Joomla 4. Creating a Plugin or a Module for Joomla 4, namespaces conventions, prepared statements, using the new web asset classes and many more.
We encourage developers to help write the documentation about Joomla 4 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::Joomla_4_Tutorials_Project/
Should I plan to upgrade to Joomla 4.2?
Joomla 4.2 is Joomla’s latest major version.
Joomla 3.10 will continue to be supported with security fixes until 17th August 2023, giving you plenty of time to plan your migration to Joomla 4 and update your extensions (if required) to become Joomla 4 compatible versions.
As it is now more a year since the release of J4.0, you should be planning or in the process of migrating to the latest version of Joomla.
We provide resources to help with the migration on the documentation site.
