Changelog

• 26-Jun-2026 : v5.0.0
  • Joomla 5 and 6 compatible build under src/modules/mod_db8sitelastmodified, rebuilt on the modern service-provider + dispatcher architecture.
  • "Published" option for the "Use Date from" setting (publish_up), alongside Created and Modified. Only articles whose publish date is now or in the past — and that have not expired through publish_down — are considered, and that date is also factored into the "Most Recent" calculation.
  • Helper rewritten as an instantiable class resolved through the HelperFactory, with the application injected and the database accessed via DatabaseInterface.
  • "Use Date from" never selected Modified or Created, because the parameter (a string) was compared strictly against an integer; it is now cast to int.
• 26-Jun-2026 : v4.1.0
  • Aligned the Joomla 4 build with the Joomla Coding Standards (PSR-12) — blank line after defined('_JEXEC'), use statements before the access guard, same-line braces in layouts, refreshed docblocks, and LF line endings.
• 15-Mar-2022 : v3.0.2 (Joomla 3 version)
  • Fixed some errors with J4 code in the J3 Module
• 7-Mar-2022 : v4.0.1 (Joomla 4 version)
  • Increased the version number to force Joomla 4 websites to use the new Joomla 4 version
  • Replaced old J3 helper.php with empty placeholder (new J4 helper is now located in /src/Helper/DateHelper.php)
• 7-Mar-2022 : v3.0.1 (Joomla 3 version)
  • Fixed issue with missing files in .zip package
• 6-Mar-2022 : v3.0.0
  • Refactored Joomla 3 version to namespacing (used since Joomla 3.8)
  • Added Joomla 4 version
• 28-Jan-2015 : v2.6.0
  • Added filter="raw" to mod_db8sitelastmodified.xml to make it possible to add HTML code to "Text before/after Date" fields.
• 17-Apr-2014 : v2.5.0
  • Changed date format from PHP strftime to PHP date to display weekday & month in other languages. Updated the module to Joomla 3.x and added for automatic future update notifications and one-click-update functionality
