Welcome to Mautic 7.0-Release Candidate: Columba Edition

Mautic 7 Candidate Release

Mautic 7 is here! Today we are excited to announce the release of Mautic 7.0 Release Candidate.

This release includes support for Symfony 7.3, PHP 8.4, updates many of our very outdated dependencies ‘under the hood’ to ensure Mautic remains secure and fit for the future, and brings some exciting new features.

We’ve also removed and updated a vast amount of old, legacy code which makes our core more streamlined and modern.

⚠️ This is a release candidate pre-release and should only be used for testing purposes. DO NOT use this in a production environment.

We invite testers to verify the upgrade process from Mautic 5 and Mautic 6 and raise any issues in the relevant channels (#mautic7 on Slack, and GitHub Issues). 

Developer notes

If you’re a developer, please note that Mautic 7.0 Release Candidate includes several changes that may affect your custom code.

Please review the UPGRADE-7.0.md file for more information on these changes.

We hope you enjoy using Mautic 7.0 Release Candidate and look forward to your feedback! Please use #mautic-7 on Slack if you wish to discuss the release. 

Please raise any bugs or issues that you find as GitHub issues and share them in Slack so we can make sure they’re addressed in subsequent releases.

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.
