Joomla 5.4.0 is now available, bringing the latest bug fixes and serving as a bridge release for upgrading existing Joomla 5 installations to Joomla 6.0. This version also introduces the new Joomla automatic core update feature.

Version 5.4 will be supported until 13 October 2026 for regular bugfix and until 12 October 2027 for security fix only. You can therefore take your time to prepare for the update to the next major version, once your server meets the minimum requirements and/or all your third-party extensions and templates are compatible with Joomla 6.

A special mention to the Joomla 5.4 release managers: Heiko Lübbe and Richard Fath, who worked to get Joomla 5.4.0 ready for release.
For Joomla 5.4.0 we had 24+ contributors and 128+ Pull Requests have been merged.
A huge shout-out to our teams, who have done an amazing job. In particular, the CMS maintenance team, the CMS release team, the Documentations team and the Marketing team have given their all to make this release happen.

Thank you all.
