    Gantry 4 and September Joomla Template Release

    Posted 11 years 7 months ago
    • I just wanted to give you all a heads-up on some upcoming stuff.

      First off, we are on schedule for releasing our new Gantry 4 framework for Joomla before the end of the month. This is a big undertaking as we have put some great new features into version 4.0 and we also have been working hard to update the gantry-framework.org site with a new responsive design built on the latest and greatest framework. We're big fans of the eat-your-own-dogfood paradigm. Along with the new site, we will have updated documentation and video screencasts to reflect Gantry 4 running on Joomla 2.5.

      Gantry 4 Changelog
      • New responsive frontend “Gantry” base template
      • New Grid-Responsive CSS provided
      • New leaner administrator UI
      • Built in smart LESS compiler for LESS powered templates - recompiles LESS files when a change is detected
      • Support for custom less or css files for safe user customization
      • Optimized JavaScript performance for administrator UI
      • Growl-like status administration notifications
      • New admin fields: Image Picker, TextPlus with Prefix and Suffix, Google Fonts
      • New manual clear-cache button to clear Gantry Cache
      • Joomla ACL Support in administrator
      • Typography updates and built-in support for syntax-highlighting with Google Prettify JS
      • Performance optimizations
      • Lots of code cleanup
      • Strict mode notices and warnings removed
      • Various bugs and issues resolved
      • New Gantry Logo!

      September Joomla Release

      While this effort has been going on, our Joomla template development team has been hard at work building the new September template release on Gantry 4 utilizing the new features such as LESS powered CSS. Regarding the release date, our regular release date of the 1st of the month falls on a Saturday this month. Combined with the fact that Monday is Labor Day, and this is a national holiday, the release of the template is now scheduled to be on Tuesday the 4th of September. The extra few days between Gantry4 release and template release will be extra useful to ensure that any minor issues can be addressed.
