Joomla 3.x development continued to ensure code security & support modern PHP versions

Joomla 3.x development continued to ensure code security & support modern PHP versions

This may be of interest to existing Joomla 3.x users who cannot yet upgrade to newer Joomla releases for various reasons...

We're continuing the development of an open distribution of Joomla 3.x to ensure code security and support modern PHP versions.

The project is hosted on GitHub: https://github.com/joomlaworks/joomla-3.x

First release of Joomla 3.11 was uploaded on Monday, Apr 20th, 2026.

Joomla 3.11 is currently compatible with up to PHP 8.5 and is tested with latest versions of MySQL (8.0 & 8.4 LTS) & MariaDB (10, 11 and 12) at the time of writing.

Please note that the point of this project is to ensure Joomla 3.x works with new PHP & MySQL/MariaDB versions and remains secure, for those who still use it.

As such, any contributions should focus towards that goal, as well as any bugs they may have existed in Joomla 3.x and which were never resolved due to the Joomla core team's change of focus to newer releases.

This distribution is obviously a community project, not an official Joomla project.

As always, thanks goes out to all the people who built and contributed to Joomla 3.x until its EOL date.
