Tiki27Tiki 27.0 LTS was released on July 1st 2024. Release announcement: https://tiki.org/article512-Tiki-27-0-LTS-A-Leap-Forward-for-Collaborative-Software It is a Long Term Support (LTS) version and will be supported until July 2029 as per the Tiki lifecycle policy. Usually, LTS versions like this are more about refining features than major changes. However, this release is an exception as the Tiki developers wanted major changes to be part of this LTS, notably Smarty 5, and the new npm based build system. After this release, there will be yet more major changes in Tiki28. Supported PHP versions: PHP 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3, MariaDB 10.5+, MySQL 8+ You can see the development page at : https://dev.tiki.org/Tiki27 and all the code commits here: https://gitlab.com/tikiwiki/tiki/-/commits/27.x/ once it will be created (in 2024-03). 1.

2. Enhancements(alphabetically sorted) 2.1. API enhancementsSeveral enhancements and improvements made to the Tiki API functionality, particularly to support Tiki deployments to provide data and system management for Internet of Things (IoT) networks. More detail on IoT usage can be seen at the development page https://dev.tiki.org/Internet-of-Things 2.2. CalendarsMajor change for calendar event handling in Tiki - CRUD operations of events now go through the built-in caldav server with the help of internal method invocation (not through the webdav protocol to skip authentication phase). This has the desired consequences of event scheduling, iTIP message generation and other active plugin taking care of corresponding functionality when events are created, updated, deleted. Several major updates to calendar functionality:
Private calendars: new permission (-+tiki_p_admin_private_calendar+-) and ability to create personal private calendars that will be visible only to the user creating them and calendar admins; make sure all operations and CalDAV support + permissions continue to work in the same way as before with public calendars and new private calendars
2.3. ConsoleNew Console commands:
2.4. ContactsAdded support for personal and work emails
2.5. Markdown + TOAST UIMany bug fixes and enhancements have happened in Tiki27 which resulted in a more user-friendly Markdown editing experience without sacrificing functionality or compatibility with traditional Tiki syntax
