The release of the free content management system Joomla 6.1 has taken place. Joomla offers features such as user and media file management tools, support for creating multilingual page variants, a campaign management system, a user address book, voting options, built-in search, a link categorization and click tracking system, a WYSIWYG editor, a templating system, news feed management, an XML-RPC API for integration with other systems, page caching, and a collection of extensions. The project code is written in PHP and is distributed under the GPLv2 license.
Key changes in the new version:
- A new bot protection plugin (Proof-of-Work CAPTCHA) has been implemented, which does not rely on third-party APIs and performs checks through background mathematical computations (hash enumeration), seamlessly for the user. The implementation is based on the altcha library.
- A visual workflow editor has been implemented, displaying the content approval process in the form of an interactive graph and allowing for the management of verification and refinement of material prior to publication, involving reviewers, editors, and proofreaders.
- Custom media fields have been added for selecting videos, audio files, and documents (pdf, docx, etc.). Previously, the Media field only allowed for image selection.
- Version history tracking for module content has been implemented, similar to the versioning of materials. The ability to bind module instances to languages on multilingual sites has also been added.
