Until 29 September 2026, a Joomla extension developer had no way to tell a site’s administrator that an update fixed a security problem. The update manager listed a security release exactly like a release that changed a button colour, and the only signal was whatever the changelog said, if anyone opened it. Joomla 5.4.9 and 6.1.4, released on 29 September 2026, changed that. Your update XML can now include a <security> element, and Joomla turns it into a “Security release level” badge in the update manager and a warning on the administrator’s Home Dashboard.

I wanted to know how you fellt about the different builders and different frameworks existing in joomla ?

I introduce myself first, I've been using joomla for many many years, I did try with all these years qui a few builders and associated frameworks. I tried CCK for a while. I purchased many licences through the years Quix, SPBuilder. Try asteroid framework, helix.
But my main goal was to keep websites easily editable for our customers.

Of course, I had look at what was happening elsewhere—Elementor and Divi on WordPress, Webflow, and others… Where do you stand on all this?

What do you think about page builders? Do you still see them as relevant in 2026 for the kind of web design work you do? The same question could be asked about CMSs, for that matter.

I find it hard to believe that CMSs will disappear because of AI, despite what we sometimes read or hear. We’ll still need to keep information organized and visually editable—or maybe I’m just stuck in the 20th century.

So how do you guys work with Joomla ?
