History: Tiki30

Tiki 30.0 will be released in --April (maybe postponed?)-- --May (definitely postponed)-- June 2026. Normally scheduled for March 2026, but since previous release was in September 2025 (instead of target June 2025), this is a quite tight cycle (6 months instead of 8).

As a Long Term Support (LTS) version, it will be supported until April 2031 as per ((tw:Versions|the Tiki lifecycle policy)).
