What's the intended release cycle

[HageMaster3108]

Hi guys,

thank you for this Fork. Can I ask what the intended release cycle is? Are you looking to do major updates with breaking changes as frequently as "vanilla Pimcore" does or will it happen in a more maintenance-friendly way?

Thanks, Patrick

Hi Patrick,

our release approach is:

• Bugfixes and improvements are shipped continuously in minor and patch releases
• Breaking changes will only be introduced with major versions (release cycle will be announced soon)
• Improvement of existing codebase without breaking changes
• With v1, we focused on bringing PHP 8.4 and Symfony 7.3 support. Once Symfony 7.4 LTS is out, we’ll integrate that as well

Right now, our main focus is on unifying the project infrastructure (tests, deployment, etc.) to ensure stability and a reliable release process. We’re also working on a landing page, documentation, and a demo site.

To clarify: breaking changes cannot be avoided – that’s exactly what major versions are for. Still, you can expect a stable maintenance cycle, but also clear versioning whenever incompatible changes are necessary.

A bit of extra context: We’ve also forked the ui-classic-bundle, renamed it to admin-bundle and made it a core dependency. The reason is that we’ll continue to use ExtJS as our backend framework, and we’ll upgrade ExtJS to new major versions in a GPL-compliant way. The bundle stays technically separate, but it’s part of the OpenDXP core going forward.

@Gitman007 Here you have Pimcore (OpenDXP) without POCL.
