Mautic 7.0 Release Candidate Introduces Symfony 7.3, PHP 8.4 Support, and Core Enhancements

Staff Reporter

Mautic has released the 7.0 Release Candidate, codenamed “Columba Edition,” representing a major milestone ahead of general availability. The pre-release adds support for Symfony 7.3 and PHP 8.4 while introducing core enhancements and a cleaner architecture. Ruth Cheesley officially announced it on the Mautic blog.

The release is part of an ongoing effort to modernize Mautic’s foundation. In addition to supporting the latest versions of PHP and Symfony, this release removes a significant amount of legacy code and refreshes outdated dependencies to improve performance, maintainability, and security.

The Mautic team has urged users not to use this version in production. Instead, it serves as a testing phase to validate upgrade paths from Mautic 5 and 6. Developers are encouraged to review changes affecting custom code, detailed in the UPGRADE-7.0.md guide, and report any bugs through GitHub Issues while engaging with the community via the #mautic7 Slack channel.

Recent improvements in this release include fixes for errors with multi-choice custom fields, UI alignment corrections in campaign popovers, and cleaner filtering logic in the segment builder. These updates, contributed by developer @kniziol, demonstrate the community's active involvement in refining the release.

Mautic 7.0 Release Candidate is not final, and work continues toward the general availability release. Progress can be tracked through the GA milestone on GitHub.

For complete details, developer notes, and testing instructions, read the official blog post on Mautic.org.
