Open source headless commerce platform built on Symfony for tailored ecommerce experiences.

Sylius is staging a platform jump — Symfony 8, PHP 8.3, a rebuilt admin — behind an alpha.

symfony-8admin-rebuildpromotionsphp-upgradepre-release
◆Current state
The 2.3 alpha is the only active development visible here; everything below it is a single telemetry patch backported across four legacy maintenance branches in March. The alpha itself is substantial: PHP 8.3 and Symfony 8 support, a broadened Doctrine stack, every admin and shop grid migrated to PHP configuration, dark mode in the admin panel, per-channel promotion rules, admin access levels, and Payment Request leaving experimental status.
◆Where it's heading
Two things are happening at once. The framework is being pulled onto a current PHP and Symfony baseline, which is a breaking move for anyone on an older stack, and the admin layer is being rebuilt around PHP-configured grids in place of the previous configuration format. The merchant-facing additions cluster in promotions — per-channel rules and actions, usage tracking on cart promotions, comparison operators on quantity and item-total rules — which is the clearest signal of where feature investment is going.
◆Prediction
An alpha carrying a grid migration this broad rarely goes straight to stable; expect further pre-releases focused on migration edge cases rather than new capability before 2.3.0 lands.

    Sylius 2.3 alpha: Symfony 8, PHP grids, per-channel promotions

    The first 2.3 alpha, bundling a platform upgrade to PHP 8.3 and Symfony 8, a migration of all admin and shop grids to PHP configuration, per-channel promotion rules, admin access levels, and Payment Request graduating from experimental. Directionally significant, but it is an alpha — the capability is announced, not yet shipped to production users.

    Telemetry improvements backported to the 1.14 branch

    A telemetry patch on the 1.14 maintenance branch, one of four identical backports published within minutes of each other. Housekeeping on a legacy line, unrelated to the 2.3 work.

    Telemetry improvements backported to the 1.13 branch

    The same telemetry change applied to the 1.13 branch. One of four coordinated maintenance-branch releases, not four separate pieces of work.

    Telemetry improvements backported to the 1.11 branch

    The 1.11 branch's copy of the same telemetry patch. Its presence says Sylius still maintains several old lines in parallel, which is context for how cautiously the 2.3 platform jump will land.
