JOOMLA! 3.4 NEW FEATURES
Core en-GB standardisation
en-GB is the official language of Joomla. This new feature is to standardize all the en-GB language strings in the core of Joomla based on the style guide that you can see here. This will ensure consistency throughout Joomla. It will provide translation teams with an easy framework and guidelines to create their own style guides to ensure consistency throughout the project.
Front-end Module Editing
With Font en Module editing incorporated, you can edit modules directly on the page without the need to use the admin dashboard. This new feature simplifies the administration of websites by making them incredibly easy to edit!
Decoupling com_weblinks
The first step of removing com_weblinks from the core distribution is completed. Weblinks will not be removed from your Joomla installation, maintaining backwards compatibility. It will install like a normal extension.
Composer Integration
For the 3.4 release, Composer is being integrated into the CMS for managing external dependencies such as the Joomla! Framework and PHPMailer.
No CAPTCHA reCAPTCHA
As Google introduced a new API that radically simplifies the reCAPTCHA experience called "No CAPTCHA reCAPTCHA", Joomla! team also updated this change to Joomla 3.4 to protect your login and registration forms against spam.
