Akeneo's Community Edition gets infrastructure refreshes while features ship to Enterprise.

pimecommerceopen-coremaintenancephp
◆Current state
The last four 7.0 patches (June to September 2026) each state they contain only Enterprise fixes, meaning nothing changes for Community users. The real Community work this year was the February 2026-2 refresh to PHP 8.3, MySQL 8.0.34 and Elasticsearch 8.17. Before that, the last functional Community fix was a completeness-query performance patch in December 2025.
◆Where it's heading
Community Edition is in maintenance mode: kept on supported runtimes (one CI commit even notes the branch is now 'Community Edition standalone'), while product investment shows up as Enterprise-only patches. Expect stack upgrades, not features.
◆Prediction
More Enterprise-only 7.0.x tags are the base case; the next Community-visible change is likely another runtime bump ahead of upstream end-of-life dates.
