As the Joomla ecosystem continues to evolve, we at Digital Peak GmbH are adjusting our support strategy to focus on the latest Joomla versions and ensure that our extensions remain secure, reliable, and compatible with modern Joomla installations. We would like to inform our users that we are officially dropping Joomla 4 support for our Joomla extensions.
Joomla 4 has reached the end of its active development lifecycle on October 2025, and maintaining compatibility with older Joomla versions requires additional resources that are better invested in supporting current and future releases. With this change, our extensions will no longer support Joomla 4 compatibility. Future development and feature updates will focus on supported Joomla versions only. We strongly recommend that all users still running Joomla 4 plan their upgrade as soon as possible.
Joomla 3 – Security updates for DPCalendar 8.19.x
We understand that not every website can be migrated when it was produced on Joomla 3. Some installations require additional planning, testing, or adjustments before moving to a newer Joomla version. For this reason, we will continue to provide security updates for DPCalendar 8.19.x on Joomla 3.
This commitment is specifically intended to address security issues and help users keep their existing installations protected while planning their migration. Please note that this does not mean Joomla 3 or DPCalendar 8.19.x will receive ongoing feature development. The continued maintenance is limited to security related updates.
Joomla 5 is already in security mode, upgrade to Joomla 6
Joomla 5 has already entered its security maintenance phase. This means that its lifecycle is moving towards security-only maintenance, making it increasingly important for website owners to prepare for the next generation of Joomla. Our recommendation is to upgrade to Joomla 6 now.
Joomla 6 is the current major version and provides the best foundation for future compatibility, feature development, and long-term maintenance of your website. By upgrading now, you can:
- Stay aligned with the current Joomla development lifecycle.
- Benefit from ongoing improvements and compatibility updates.
- Avoid having to plan another major upgrade in the near future.
- Ensure that your Digital Peak extensions remain on a supported platform.
As always, we recommend testing the migration in a staging environment before updating your production website.
Joomla 5 support will be dropped when Joomla 6 enters security mode
Our support strategy will continue to follow the Joomla release lifecycle. Once Joomla 6 enters its security-only maintenance phase, we will drop Joomla 5 support for our extensions and focus on the newer Joomla versions. It will be then the same situation as now, Joomla will be supported for another extra year while officially still being EOL.
This approach allows us to concentrate our development and testing efforts on actively maintained Joomla releases while ensuring that our customers benefit from a sustainable and reliable extension ecosystem.
Thank you for your understanding
We appreciate that upgrading a Joomla website can require time and effort, particularly for complex or business-critical installations. Our goal is to provide stable, secure, and well-maintained extensions while keeping pace with the Joomla project itself. If you are still running Joomla 4 or Joomla 5, we encourage you to start planning your upgrade to Joomla 6 today.
Thank you for using Digital Peak extensions and for being part of our community.
