Goodbye Mautic 2, it’s been good to know you!

All good things come to an end, and today we’ve made the last release in the Mautic 2.x series, 2.16.4.

This release includes a back-ported security fix, and a small update for the migration script.

In accordance with our release schedule, security fixes for the 2.x version of Mautic will be discontinued from 15th December 2020 and you are encouraged to migrate to Mautic 3.2.1.

Though less prominent than its northern neighbors, Columba contains the globular cluster NGC 1851, a dense collection of ancient stars visible through telescopes. Named in the 16th century by Dutch astronomer Petrus Plancius, Columba represents the dove from Noah's Ark that returned bearing an olive branch, symbolizing hope and peace after the great flood. In its celestial position south of Orion and Lepus (the Hare), some interpretations suggest the dove fleeing from the hunter. The constellation embodies themes of peace, renewal, and divine guidance across various traditions, serving as a quieter but meaningful counterpart to the more dramatic figures of the night sky.
