Joomla! 4.3.4 RC1 - Ready for Testing

[pe7er]

The Production Team has a Release Candidate for Joomla 4.3.4 RC1 that is ready for testing. The more people that test in different environments, the better the release can be (on Tuesday 22 August 2023).

DO NOT TEST ON A LIVE/PRODUCTION SITE but rather on a copy of a production site with the owners permission.

Download packages: https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/re ... /4.3.4-rc1
Milestones addressed: https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/mi ... 8?closed=1

The areas the release leads ask us to focus testing on are:

Articles

• Archived articles's page is not fully accessible

Contacts

• Wrong language strings for table column title for the list

Fields

• Color field is missing the onchange attribute (advanced layout)

Config

• reintroduce lost access for ACL changes

Templates

• Asset validation for child templates is broken

Workflow

• Empty filter for workflow stage in the featured articles (missing context)

Scheduler

• Authorization header fix

Webservices

• Error on PHP 8 for field groups

Guided Tours

• Javascript fixes / better step user local storage
• Notice when the plugin is disabled

Error pages

• Fix error page rendering with unclosed Output buffers

Smart search

• Fix Chinese tokenisation

Other

• filter CSS classes validation missing for some fields (warning if people are using the menu icon field for other than classes)

Again, DO NOT TEST ON A LIVE/PRODUCTION SITE! Rather, test on a copy of a website that you have permission to use.

Thank you for helping Production test this next release of Joomla.
