Solidres v4.0.1 BETA: Laying a Solid Foundation for the Future of Joomla 6 & 7!
We’re excited to announce the immediate availability of Solidres v4.0.1 BETA, a significant milestone that marks our commitment to future-proofing your favorite Joomla booking solution! This release focuses heavily on establishing a rock-solid, forward-compatible foundation that not only fully embraces Joomla 6 but is also built to handle the future Joomla 7 with ease.
This release represents a lot of hard work under the hood, ensuring Solidres remains the definitive choice for your accommodation and tour booking needs. While current users of older Joomla versions won’t see dramatic feature changes, v4.0.1 is all about what’s coming and giving you peace of mind that your investment is secure for years to come.
Why v4.0.1 is a Major Leap Forward:
- Joomla 6 Ready: v4.0.1 is built to take full advantage of the power and modern standards of Joomla 6, ensuring top performance and a seamless experience within the new CMS environment.
- Joomla 7 Forward Compatibility: Our primary goal was to create a foundation that requires minimal, if any, code changes to work with Joomla 7. This means you can upgrade your sites knowing your booking engine is ready.
- Robust & Modern Codebase: We’ve rewritten and modernized significant portions of the core code to ensure it meets the highest coding standards, making it more robust, efficient, and easier to maintain.
- Improved Security: As part of the codebase update, we’ve implemented the latest security best practices to keep your data and your users’ information safe.
Important Notice for Beta Testers:
As this is a BETA release, it should not be used on production (live) websites. This version is intended for testing, development, and integration purposes. We encourage you to test it on a staging site and provide feedback on any issues you encounter.
