PrestaShop keeps the 9.1 and 8.2 branches patched while nudging theming and AI-tooling forward.

◆Current state
PrestaShop is in steady maintenance mode across two supported branches (9.1 and 8.2), shipping frequent point releases that fold in security fixes like the ps_facetedsearch patch. Alongside the housekeeping it's investing in the developer surface: an official Hummingbird Figma file with inspectable tokens and components, plus "Repository Intelligence" to make project conventions machine-readable.
◆Where it's heading
The cadence is dominated by maintenance and community events rather than headline features, but two threads point forward: lowering the barrier to building on the default Hummingbird theme, and a one-page checkout taking shape in the monthly roundups. Expect the release-train discipline to continue, with direction work surfacing incrementally inside the core-monthly digests.
◆Prediction
Next likely move is another 9.1.x/8.2.x maintenance pair and a shippable cut of the one-page checkout referenced in the May core monthly.

◆Recent moves

    Hummingbird v2 now has an official public Figma file

    Publishing the Hummingbird v2 reference design — inspectable components, tokens, and layouts — lowers the cost of building on PrestaShop's default theme, consistent with the project's developer-surface investments.
