Mautic 6 is here!

Today we are excited to announce the release of Mautic 6.0 General Availability.

This release includes support for Symfony 6, PHP 8.3 and updates many of our very outdated dependencies ‘under the hood’ to ensure Mautic remains secure and fit for the future.

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

🚨 IMPORTANT: Please read our release blog post BEFORE UPDATING at https://mautic.org/blog/mautic-6-0-orion-edition-is-released/, which contains important information about things that have changed in Mautic 6. Importantly you will need to check your email and landing pages are compatible with the GrapesJS builder, as the legacy builder has now been removed.

Developers and advanced users: The blog post has some plain-english information but you can find the finer details in https://github.com/mautic/mautic/blob/6.x/UPGRADE-6.0.md for information on upgrading plugins.

Update to Mautic 6 in the usual way (at command line) after taking a full backup of your files and database and verifying its integrity.

What’s changed?

With any major Mautic release we always try to remove old code, and bump up support to the next Symfony version. This means that developers are going to need to make changes to their code in order to support Mautic 6.x.

Please check the 6.0-upgrade file for all the information you’ll need.

Some key things to note from this release:

• PHPSTAN and Rector are now updated to v2
• There has been extensive removal of deprecated code and refactoring
• Mautic now uses Symfony’s Authentication system which replaces the Guard component
