With Joomla 6.1 now available, attention turns to what comes next. Joomla 6.2 is scheduled for release on 13 October 2026, and at the helm are two release managers who bring very different backgrounds to the role. This month we meet Charvi Mehra, whose journey into Joomla began not through code but through a university semester project in Delhi.

While the 6.0 downloads growing, we look to the new release managers for Joomla 6.1. Last month we featured  Harald Leithner and now we turn our focus on Stefan Wendhausen.

With Joomla 6 in the downloads portal: people updating their sites and building new sites on a fresh Joomla 6 install, attention now turns to Joomla 6.1. Now we turn to interview its release managers Harald Leithner and Stefan Wendhausen. 

They don't seek the limelight, and yet, without them, Joomla 5.4 wouldn't be what it is. Richard Fath and Heiko Lübbe embody this new team of discreet but formidably efficient Release Managers, behind this bridge release to Joomla 6. Who are they?

Joomla's next generation is in the making! With every new version, our favorite CMS becomes better and better. Time for a chat with the Release Managers for Joomla 6: Gary Barclay and Philip Walton.

With the release of Joomla 5.3.0, the Joomla 5.2 series has come to an end. That also means my job as Release Manager for Joomla 5.2 is now done. A new team took over for the Joomla 5.3 version and will continue building and maintaining the releases of Joomla CMS.
