Joomla has long offered version history for articles, and this feature is now available for modules as well. If you run a multilingual website, you can now associate module instances across different languages, the same way you can associate articles across languages.

Automatic updates
If automatic updates were enabled in the previous Joomla minor version 6.0.4, your system will be AUTOMATICALLY updated to 6.1.0.
Automatic updates are supported for patch updates and minor updates from version 5.4 and 6.0 onwards.
Automatic updates are not supported when changing Joomla major versions. That is, when updating/upgrading from Joomla 5.4 to Joomla 6.x, or from Joomla 6.4 to Joomla 7.x. For a Joomla major update, this must still be carried out manually in the backend or using an external tool.
A big thank you to our community!
Joomla 6.1 is the result of more than 130 pull requests submitted by volunteers from all over the world – developers, testers, translators, documentation authors and many others.
Your time and talent move Joomla forward.
