Releases, feature highlights, announcements and development updates for Solidres and our other products.
Emerald v6.0.0 is the third template which has been refactored to support Joomla 4 and PHP 8+ (built upon Helix Ultimate framework), it is already available for download for all active subscribers, quickstart packages are also included.
Following Greenery v2.0.0 released last year, Infinity is the next template that got a major refactoring with Joomla 4 and PHP 8+ support, the old Warp framework was replaced by the Helix Ultimate framework. It is already available for download in our Download page for all active BUNDLE/HUB/DEVELOPERS subscribers, including quickstart packages.
The upcoming Hub/iCal/Invoice releases will integrate with Joomla 4 Task Scheduler. For website administrators, it’d make the CRON job setup and maintenance easier. For extension developers, Joomla 4 Task Scheduler provides a good foundation to build CRON functionality.
Welcome 2023, we’d like to celebrate the new year with a new feature highlight: OpenStreetMap (OSM). It will be the default map provider for Solidres (planned for v2.14.0) in addition to Google Maps. OSM configuration is a lot simpler than Google Maps (no need to enable billing to use it like Google Maps). Our plan is to add OSM into the core version first, then we will continue adding it into commercial Solidres extensions.
This version is a major release with Joomla 4 and PHP 8 support. We replaced the old Warp template framework with Helix Ultimate. It is already available for download in our Download page for all active BUNDLE/HUB/DEVELOPERS subscribers.
We also developed a new Tabs module (mod_sr_tabs) to replace the out of date Tabs GK5 module.
After this release, we will focus on porting other (but not all) templates to the new framework, the next candidate is Infinity template.
