All about the development of eZ Publish by Graham Brookins, 7x and Brookins Consulting.
7x Recommendation Upgrade From PHP 5.x or 7.x to PHP 8.2 Today for a much more secure and complete eZ Publish installation.
There are several mission critical security, stability and performance reasons why it's a good idea to upgrade from PHP 7.x to PHP 8.2.
An upgrade to eZ Publish 6 (v6.0.x) for many websites takes less than two hours time to complete.
Here are just a few key reasons
1. Improved performance: PHP 8.2 provides websites several performance improvements that make it faster than previous versions of PHP. This means that your website or application could run faster and handle more requests per second using cheeper website hosting.
2. Improved error handling: PHP 8.2 has improved error handling that provides more detailed error messages and makes it easier to catch and handle errors in your code.
3. New features: PHP 8.2 introduces several new features, including improved type system, named arguments, and union types, which can help you write cleaner and more concise code.
4. Security enhancements: PHP 8.2 comes with several security enhancements, including stricter type checks, improved password hashing, and better support for SSL/TLS
In summary, upgrading to PHP 8.2 can benefit both your website's performance and security, as well as improving your development experience with the new features.
5) Server compatibility. As versions older than PHP 8.1 have been deprecated and are no longer generally available, or supported then you'll find you must upgrade. There is no support for any versions prior to PHP8.1.
Once the server is upgraded your existing eZ Publish website will crash without a companion upgrade to eZ Publish 6 (v6.0.x) which for many websites takes less than two hours time to complete.
I am very excited to again be the first to point out that 7x has been continuously been developing and preparing for the next major release of eZ Publish version 6.0.0 via Composer via GitHub.
Work hard in silence and let success make the noise.
7x is distributing the bug fixes needed to successfully install eZ Publish with PHP 8.3 the latest release of the software that powers most of the web.
Install 7x eZ Publish 6.0 from composer today and provide feedback on your own experience.
Here is a quick example of how to use composer to instal eZ Publish 6.0
mkdir ezpublish; cd ezpublish; composer require se7enxweb/ezpublish:v6.0.0;
You won’t regret this decision.
Update: On Christmas Day we found the last key blocking bugs and fixed them for a much more stable New Year‘s Day release. Read the release announcements and join the discussions.

Netgen eZ Publish need’s vendor based default installation campaign today to help vendors improve their own application installation process of the latest version of eZ Publish instead of falsely misleading people into believing that the eZ Publish project or software is a dead app (non functioning).
7x is distributing PHP 8.x Support for eZ Publish Legacy on GitHub!
This year I’ve done an incredible amount of work bringing php 8.2 support to the netgen repository.
That said, now the whole world can run ezpublish on the latest versions of php.
This repository can be installed using composer! Checkout the packagist!
If your like me still hosting and developing eZ Publish today I strongly recommend you upgrade to the latest version of 7x eZ Publish!
There are a few work arounds and remaining issues but overall it is a great success.
