Notes for the Release

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE UPGRADING

The PHP minimum version is now 5.6.19. We decided to drop PHP 5.3, 5.4, and 5.5 support since the PHP project itself no longer supports them (5.5 is end of life as of July 11, 2016). We are also now able to support PHP 7! Prior to PHP 5.6.19, there was a bug in PDO MySQL (which Mautic uses by default) and thus the reason for a PHP minimum of 5.6.19.

The MySQL minimum version is now 5.5.3 in order to plan for MySQL's support of the utf8mb4 encoding in future releases (to support emoji's natively). PostgreSQL support has been dropped in order to be able to focus on optimization of Mautic data.

If your server does not meet these requirements, please upgrade to the minimums before upgrading Mautic. You can check your current versions by going to the admin menu in Mautic (the cogwheel upper right hand side) then to System Info

This release brings some schema changes that could impact how quickly an upgrade takes. This means that if you have a large number of leads, you should NOT upgrade through Mautic's upgrade UI. Instead you should update through the command line. However, 2.0 brought some backwards compatibility issues with our upgrade process due to changes in dependencies. Our CLI command, php app/console mautic:update:apply WILL NOT WORK. We have provided an upgrade script to use instead. Please download this script from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mautic/mautic/master/upgrade.php, place in the root of your Mautic installation, and run it from CLI with php upgrade.php. It will fetch 2.0.0 and proceed to upgrade your Mautic installation.

If you have a relatively small dataset, feel free to use the UI instead.

Highlighted Features

Froala editor

This release switches CKEditor in favor of Froala editor which has a more polished look and functionality. We love it and hope you do too!

New email and page builders!

Email and page builders have been overhauled to be cleaner and better. This means that custom themes have changed as well. We've added a bunch of built-in themes from https://www.sendwithus.com/resources/templates.

Dynamic web content

You can now push contact aware content to your web pages through Mautic campaigns. Using Javascript or an updated CMS plugin, inject dynamic content into your website.

Lifecycle stages

You can now track your contacts through various stages and lifecycles.

And more! See the full list below.
