Skosmos 3.0 has been released! 🎉

Skosmos 3.0 is a major release of Skosmos that includes a reimplementation of the front-end, using fewer third party components and improving the layout, user interface and accessibility. The release also includes a Cypress test framework for automated front-end testing. The code base has been thoroughly cleaned to follow a unified style and some functionality optimised for faster operations. The architecture remains mostly the same as in Skosmos 2 and the Skosmos REST API is still backwards compatible.

The Skosmos translation framework has been changed to Lokalise. To translate Skosmos into your own language, you can request access to the Skosmos-3 translation project by sending an e-mail to finto...@helsinki.fi.

The release includes an overhaul to the Skosmos plugin framework, as documented in the Skosmos wiki.

To install Skosmos 3, you can follow the general InstallTutorial, which will be updated very soon to focus on the new version. You will need PHP version 8.1, 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4. Alternatively, you can run a Docker image of Skosmos 3. See the Docker install instructions. The Skosmos wiki documentation has been also been updated The main focus is now on Skosmos 3, but information about Skosmos 2 is still available for those still using the older version.

After this release, Skosmos development will continue in 2026 with further releases in the 3.x series.
