Joomla 6.1 adds workflows, media fields and spam protection
Joomla 6.1, also known as Nyota, is now available with new tools for spam protection, content workflows, media fields and module management.
The Joomla project has released Joomla 6.1, the latest minor version in the Joomla 6 series. The update includes more than 130 pull requests and brings several changes that will affect both site administrators and extension developers.
Proof-of-Work CAPTCHAreturns as a privacy-friendly, invisible spam protection option. It requires neither an account nor an API and silently solves mathematical puzzles in the visitor’s browser.- The new
Visual Workflow Editorprovides an interactive diagram of the publication process, making content pipelines easier to inspect and manage. Media Custom Fieldsnow support audio, video and documents, rather than being limited to images.- Modules gain version history, while multilingual sites can associate module instances across languages in the same way they associate articles.
Administrators running Joomla 6.0.4 with automatic updates enabled will be updated automatically to 6.1.0. Automatic updates support patch and minor updates from 5.4 and 6.0 onwards, but major-version changes still require a manual backend update or an external tool.
Downloads are available as the full package and as an upgrade package. Developers can also review the feature-related pull requests in the Joomla 6.1 milestone before testing the release on a production site.
