If you face problems running PHP 7.4 on your site, then your host has not fully and/or correctly compiled PHP 7.4. In this case it is recommended to fallback to an older PHP version such as PHP 7.3.

1.0.13
(1 November 2019)
- Full compatibility with the new UI code changes in Joomla 4.0.0-alpha12.
- Minor changes/improvements.

Note: Joomla 4.0.0-alpha12 core would produce an error originating from the WebAssetManager, while core extensions such as the Login Module are enabled in the frontend. This is an incomplete/buggy behavior in the current alpha versions of the Joomla 4 framework. In case you encouter the above error in the frontend, disabling the Login Module will allow the Joomla framework to execute properly, until the WebAssetManager is fully removed or fixed. Another error is caused by the onContentBeforeSave method in core plugins missing the $data variable, in various cases when saving extension data in the backend. Core plugins that cause the error are Content Joomla, Content Smart Search and Action Log Joomla. Disabling these plugins bypasses the problem of Joomla 4. It is once again strongly recommended to use Joomla 4 for testing purposes ONLY.
