New to Joomla! 3.10.x is the Pre-Update Check component. This component shows technical specifications of the server the site is on and core and third-party extensions that use the Update Server in a list form.
Note: the Pre-Update Check component continues to change. If you notice that what you see is different from your site in look and feel and perhaps functionality, do update this page.
Technical Specifications
The top portion of the Pre-Update Check shows if your current server environment is compatible with Joomla 4.x for both the required PHP and Database Settings. The data on the Technical Requirements page will be updated to show Joomla 4.x specs when we are closer to GA.
Your site may look different than the screen capture above. What's important is to check if anything is red and not compatible with Joomla 4.x. If it isn't, you'll need to talk to your host or change hosts before migrating to Joomla 4.x. During a migration is a great time to change hosts. See the Migration Funnel for more information on planning and step-by-step instructions (docs from 3.10.x to 4.x aren't ready yet. Use the 2.5 to 3.x funnel as a guide.)
Extensions Pre-Update Check
The extension portion of the Pre-Update Check component pulls Joomla core extensions and third-party extensions that use update server. You may have more extensions installed than appear on the list. Extensions that don't use the update server do not appear on the list.
The list is broken into sections based on the targetplatform tag the extensions are or are not using. For devs, see Deploying an Update Server for more information about these tags and how to deploy an Update Server. For more information about what the Joomla Update System is, see https://extensions.joomla.org/support/knowledgebase/submission-requirements/joomla-update-system-requirement/ and https://docs.joomla.org/Help39:Extensions_Extension_Manager_Update.
The Notes section at the bottom of the list shows the different tags and what they mean.
The following screen capture shows a website that is small but has been migrated from 2.5 to 3.x and will now go to 3.x to 4. As you can see it's a little messy.
