Joomla 4.0 Alpha 11 is carried out for testing the extensions compatibility and introducing the new features in Joomla 4.
Similar to Joomla 4 Alpha 10, Joomla 4 Alpha 11 includes most of the Joomla Core library changes that will be included with version 4.0.0. Some of these changes will require small changes to extensions. SmartAddons makes sure to upgrade all our products to the latest Joomla release.
