  • An update on the Symfony migration

    What's next?

    In December 2015, a groundbreaking change in PrestaShop was announced: the introduction of the Symfony framework into the CMS.

  • Announcing end of support for obsolete PHP versions

    It's time to move forward

    About a year and a half ago, we announced that PrestaShop 1.7.4.0 would be dropping support for PHP 5.4 and 5.5. At that time, this decision was justified by the impending end-of-maintenance for Symfony 2 and its replacement by Symfony 3, which didn’t support PHP versions older than 5.5.
