PrestaShop 1.6.1.4 is now available. This maintenance release closes 19 issues since version 1.6.1.3 (released on November 26th, 2015).

As the version number indicates (as per our SemVer-like versioning), this is the fourth patch release for PrestaShop 1.6.1.0.

Our main motivation for releasing this version was to fix the MySQL 5.7 and PHP 7 compatibility.

As usual, we do not recommend upgrading your store when you are running promotions leading to a high traffic on your website. For those of you in the midst of winter sales: you might want to wait for the end of the Sales period before upgrading!

We hope you enjoy this patch release!

The PrestaShop 1.6.1.4 changelog is available.

Since version 1.6.1.4 is a “patch” update to version 1.6.1.0, upgrading from that version will be as smooth as silk for everyone: features will work better, and modules & themes which worked fine on 1.6.1.0 will work just as well with 1.6.1.4.

This release had 15 contributors, both from PrestaShop and from the Community at large. A huge “thank you!” to each of them!

Let’s go, upgrade your store(s)! Upgrading from 1.6.1.0-1.6.1.3 is completely safe, upgrades from a standard 1.6.0.x version should work just as well, and those upgrading from version 1.5, 1.4 or even 1.3 should take their time and pay attention to their modules, their theme and their custom modifications!
