Dear community!
It has been seven long and exciting years since the launch of XP7. After 16 feature versions and countless bug fixes—bringing us all the way to version 7.16.4—the time has finally come for our next massive milestone. Today, we are incredibly proud to announce the official release of Enonic XP v8.0.0!
Because this is a major version, it is important to note that XP8 is not backwards compatible. Taking this step has been necessary to allow us to make fundamental architectural improvements, clean up legacy, and build a highly modernized and robust foundation for the future of the platform.
New Documentation Structure With a new major release, we have also taken the opportunity to improve how we present our documentation. We have moved away from a monolithic approach and divided the documentation into three clear, focused areas to make it easier for you to find exactly what you need:
-
XP Platform doc: Dedicated to the administration and operation of XP.
-
The CMS doc: Your guide for planning and structuring projects, and designing data and websites.
-
The Development Kit doc: The go-to resource for the deep technical implementation and programming of custom functionality.
App Ecosystem & Market Status With a brand new major version, our application ecosystem is also going through a transition. As of right now, there are four fully compatible apps available in the Enonic Market:
-
Content Studio
-
Content Studio +
-
Juke AI - Content Translator
-
Juke AI - Content Operator
If your favorite app isn’t ready yet, don’t worry! Most of our applications are being migrated continuously and will be published to the Enonic Market on a rolling basis. You can get a good overview of the ecosystem updates here: .
Release Notes and Change log We won’t dive into all the deep technical details here, but XP8 brings significant and important changes to the core platform. You can read about the most important highlights and what this major update entails in our official documentation: Release Notes - Enonic Developer Portal.
For those who want to see everything under the hood, the complete and comprehensive list of updates can be found in our change log: Release Enonic XP Distro 8.0.0 · enonic/xp-distro · GitHub.
Thank you all for the amazing journey throughout the XP7 era. We are thrilled to enter this new chapter and can’t wait to see what you will build with Enonic XP8.
We hope you all will enjoy this release!
