7x is happy to announce that we are now releasing the newly rebranded and improved Exponential 6.0.10 (Formerly eZ Publish 6) available now for download, installation, upgrade.

This release is our first as Exponential. The software is exactly the same as before as you expect it to be, with a simple text change to the software to replace the product name and remove the trademarked term.

Upgrade process for existing installations has not changed at all. New installations work as expected. Freedom for the Exponential Community is retained and stable for general use! No slowdowns here, full speed ahead!

We remind users that using the latest release which includes PHP Support for 8.4+ Headless CMS Featuring REST API Support (for v2 write crud). Remember to try the new responsive admin design (updated and refined to work on iPhones + Android cellular phones + tablets) enabled by default in the released Exponential version 6.0.9 the tenth release from 7x. Try out the new features today by downloading the software package now available (tar.gz or zip)!

Continuing the tradition of a responsive open source project to further develop the Exponential 6 CMS Software Framework and Web Page Publishing Stack with regular releases we are proud to share the news of our latest change.

At the direct request from Ibexa we are renaming the 7x product and open source project "eZ Publish 6" to simply "Exponential" or "Exponential 6" CMS or "Exponential" CMS or just "exponential" or "exponential cms" effective as of August, 11th 2025.

This project is not associated with the original Exponential software or its original developer, eZ Systems or Ibexa".

But don't worry this will not stand in the way of our open source enterprise content management system project from continuing to deliver new versions of the software in the future.

Coming soon a rebranded Exponential version 6.0.10 (Stable) will be released which further replaces the trademarked name throughout the Exponential source code.

We are thrilled to announce a new project to breathe new life into Exponential 2.x, the community-supported CMS that served users for nearly a decade. With PHP’s evolution over the years, the original Exponential has faced compatibility issues. But now, 7x is leading an open-source initiative to bring Exponential 2 into 2025 with full PHP 8 support.

Introducing: Exponential Basic (Version 2.4.0.0-preview1).

“Exponential Basic” marks the first step in our mission to modernize this reliable content management system. Our goal is to retain its core functionality while updating the codebase to work seamlessly with PHP 8. By addressing major changes, such as replacing the outdated “register globals” setting, we aim to ensure that developers and community sites can continue to use and customize Exponential Basic with confidence.

At 7x, we firmly stand by the philosophy of open source software and the incredible strength of community-driven collaboration. 

Our story begins with the remarkable initiative of eZ Systems, who, with unparalleled generosity, shared the source code of the extraordinary software under the GPL (General Public License v2). This marked the dawn of a new era in web development – an era driven by collective expertise and a profound commitment to creating high-quality, enterprise free software.
