• Joomla! 5 or 6
• PHP 8.1 or higher

That's it! No external services or API keys required.

JReleaser is built from the ground up for Joomla 5/6 with modern PHP 8.1+ code. It's lightweight, focused, and does one thing well - managing your software releases. No bloated features you'll never use.

Upload your extension ZIP file when creating a release. JReleaser reads the XML manifest and automatically fills in:

• Version number
• Extension type (component, module, plugin, etc.)
• Element name
• Description
• Minimum PHP version
• SHA256, SHA384, SHA512 checksums

Release files are stored in /media/com_jreleaser/releases/ on your server. When you delete a release or upload a replacement, old files are automatically removed.

Use the included content plugin with the shortcode:

{jreleaser product_id="X"}

Replace X with your release ID. The button displays version, file size, and links directly to the download.

Yes! JReleaser generates Joomla-compatible update XML feeds. Point your extension's update server URL to:

yoursite.com/index.php?option=com_jreleaser&view=updatexml&product_id=X&format=xml

Your users will see updates in Joomla's extension updater automatically.
