Hello community!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are excited to announce that the Mautic 7 Columba edition alpha version is now available for public testing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With Mautic 7, we are focused on removing outdated code and functionality to ensure Mautic remains secure and performant aligned with modern coding standards, while also delivering more improvements and features to Mautic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ve worked really hard to get to this point – a huge thanks to all the community members who have contributed to the release!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u26a0\ufe0f IMPORTANT NOTE: Please only use it in testing environments, and report back your findings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The major release focuses on a major update to Symfony 7, but it also brings several user-facing changes and some changes that are relevant for developers. Read on for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All these exciting new features and code improvements now need to be extensively tested so they can get into the hands of our users as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As an open source project, the Mautic Community is the foundation of our progress, so join us today and help speed up the release of Mautic 7 into the General Availability version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The General Availability release of Mautic 7.0 is scheduled to be released on 29th September 2025, with a Beta release on 25th August and Release Candidate version on 8th September. With your contribution, we\u2019ll make those deadlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is what you can do to help:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each Friday we will be having our usual Open Source Friday community sprints, a great way to have mentored onboarding to get started with contributing to Mautic. Join us on Slack and head over to #new-contributors if you\u2019d like to get started, or jump right into any of the teams, whose channels start with #t-<team name><\/p>\n\n\n\n Check the features, enhancements, refactoring and bug fixes which are slated for release in the Beta and Release Candidate, and help us by testing them. Check our docs on testing – which can almost always be done locally or using Gitpod or a GitHub Codespace in the browser by any user of Mautic. Don\u2019t forget to leave a formal review, that counts as a contribution to Mautic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Help us with completing the updates needed for the end-user and developer documentation by joining #t-education on Slack. We have regular onboarding calls to help you get started. There\u2019s everything from updating screenshots to reviewing our code examples, something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Developer-facing changes – https:\/\/github.com\/mautic\/mautic\/blob\/7.x\/UPGRADE-7.0.md<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n 7.0.0-alpha release – https:\/\/github.com\/mautic\/mautic\/releases\/tag\/7.0.0-alpha<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Beta milestone: https:\/\/github.com\/mautic\/mautic\/milestone\/126<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Release Candidate milestone: https:\/\/github.com\/mautic\/mautic\/milestone\/127<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
