Re: [Tiki-devel] Tiki 24 release news article content check

Hi Gary

Thanks for that, looks great to me, the only addition i'd make is

                               ^^^
...as that will come in 25.x, and maybe one day in a minor release of 24.x, depending on how disruptive the changes required are.

Many thanks, excellent job! :)

>> After several months of hard work, the latest long-term support version, Tiki 24, has been released. This version of Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware, which benefited from EvoluData's junior developer sponsorship program for a more coordinated approach to bug fixing, includes significant new features and numerous bug fixes and security enhancements. We are pleased to make Tiki 24.0 available at this time. Regular feature support will be provided for Tiki 24 via point releases until at least March 2024, and security updates until the end of the version's service life in March 2027. See the timeline on Versions.

For a complete list of new features, improvements, and bug fixes see the Tiki 24.x documentation page.
