/> <p>As it's a release candidate, we now have a language freeze. From now on, no pull Requests touching the language files will be merged unless absolutely necessary (e.g., by fixing a critical bug). We’re two weeks away from a stable release, so the task is now: test, test, test.</p> <p>We will not include any other new features in the 5.1 branch from now on. But you’re welcome to propose enhancements and fixes for existing features.</p> <h2><strong>What are the plans for Joomla 5.1?</strong></h2> <p>To learn more about our development strategy, please read<a href="https://developer.joomla.org/development-strategy.html"> this article</a>.</p> <h2><strong>How can you help Joomla 5.1 development?</strong></h2> <p>To help ensure the 5.1 release and our major features are “production-ready”, we need your help testing releases and reporting any bugs you may find at <a href="https://issues.joomla.org">issues.joomla.org</a>.</p> <p>We encourage extension developers to roll up their sleeves, seek out bugs and test their extensions with Joomla 5.1 and communicate their experience.</p> <h2><strong>Where can I find documentation about Joomla 5?</strong></h2> <p>There are some tutorials to help you with Joomla 5. You can find the existing ones, like creating a Plugin or a Module for Joomla 5, namespaces conventions, prepared statements, using the new web asset classes and many more in <a href="https://docs.joomla.org/Special:MyLanguage/Category:Joomla!_5.x">https://docs.joomla.org/Category:Joomla!_5.x</a></p> <p>We encourage developers to help write the documentation about Joomla 5 on <a href="https://docs.joomla.org/Special:MyLanguage/Main_Page">docs.joomla.org</a> and <a href="https://manual.joomla.org/">manual.joomla.org</a> to help and guide users and other extension developers.</p> <p>A JDocs page will help developers to see the existing documentation and the documentation still needed.</p> <p>We invite you to check it regularly, update it and provide the missing content.</p> <h2><strong>Related information</strong></h2> <p>If you are an extension developer, please make sure you subscribe to the extension developer channel <a

/> <p>As it's a release candidate, we now have a language freeze. From now on, no pull Requests touching the language files will be merged unless absolutely necessary (e.g., by fixing a critical bug). We’re two weeks away from a stable release, so the task is now: test, test, test.</p> <p>We will not include any other new features in the 5.1 branch from now on. But you’re welcome to propose enhancements and fixes for existing features.</p> <h2><strong>What are the plans for Joomla 5.1?</strong></h2> <p>To learn more about our development strategy, please read<a href="https://developer.joomla.org/development-strategy.html"> this article</a>.</p> <h2><strong>How can you help Joomla 5.1 development?</strong></h2> <p>To help ensure the 5.1 release and our major features are “production-ready”, we need your help testing releases and reporting any bugs you may find at <a href="https://issues.joomla.org">issues.joomla.org</a>.</p> <p>We encourage extension developers to roll up their sleeves, seek out bugs and test their extensions with Joomla 5.1 and communicate their experience.</p> <h2><strong>Where can I find documentation about Joomla 5?</strong></h2> <p>There are some tutorials to help you with Joomla 5. You can find the existing ones, like creating a Plugin or a Module for Joomla 5, namespaces conventions, prepared statements, using the new web asset classes and many more in <a href="https://docs.joomla.org/Special:MyLanguage/Category:Joomla!_5.x">https://docs.joomla.org/Category:Joomla!_5.x</a></p> <p>We encourage developers to help write the documentation about Joomla 5 on <a href="https://docs.joomla.org/Special:MyLanguage/Main_Page">docs.joomla.org</a> and <a href="https://manual.joomla.org/">manual.joomla.org</a> to help and guide users and other extension developers.</p> <p>A JDocs page will help developers to see the existing documentation and the documentation still needed.</p> <p>We invite you to check it regularly, update it and provide the missing content.</p> <h2><strong>Related information</strong></h2> <p>If you are an extension developer, please make sure you subscribe to the extension developer channel <a href="https://joomlacommunity.cloud.mattermost.com/main/channels/extension-development-room">https://joomlacommunity.cloud.mattermost.com/main/channels/extension-development-room</a></p> <p>Where you
