7x Releases Exponential Platform Nexus 1.2.0.0

7x is happy to announce the release of Exponential Platform Nexus v1.2.0.0 for the v4 / Ibexa 4.6 product line, available now for download and installation from GitHub.

This is the first GitHub release for the

1.2.0.x

branch and marks the official public availability of Exponential Platform Nexus on Ibexa OSS 4.6 / Symfony 6.4 LTS / PHP 8.1+. It ships the full se7enxweb + Netgen suite, a one-command content installer, ngadminui with ezflow Fieldtype support, a suite of upstream accessibility improvements, and comprehensive installation documentation. For the full technical breakdown see the 1.2.0.x commit log.

The headline feature is bin/console exponential:install exponential-media; — a one-command installer backported from v5 that provisions the full Exponential Media content package on SQLite, MySQL, or PostgreSQL with no manual SQL imports. Idempotent schema runs, seed data import, and media storage directory copy all happen in a single pass. Two post-shipment bug fixes address SQLite escape sequences in the seed data and a column-order error in the

nglayouts_block_collection

schema.

On the admin side, ngadminui is integrated with full ezflow Fieldtype support — the

ezflow_block_display()

Twig operator is available for rendering ezflow blocks from within ngadminui siteaccesses.

se7enxweb/site-bundle ~3.0.6

ships a

replace: netgen/site-bundle:*

declaration resolving downstream dependency conflicts. The Symfony Flex custom recipes endpoint for

se7enxweb/sevenx-recipes

has been corrected from the non-existent

flex/main

ref to

master

, eliminating 404 errors on

composer create-project

.

This release incorporates a full run of upstream Netgen accessibility improvements from the Ibexa 4.6.19 base: cookie banner focus trap and keyboard navigation (NGSTACK-929), input autocomplete attributes (NGSTACK-941), decorative image alt text (NGSTACK-943), iframe title attributes (NGSTACK-944), skip links and screen-reader fixes (NGSTACK-947, NGSTACK-952), accessible accordions (NGSTACK-962), required field marking hidden from screen readers (NGSTACK-963), and pagination with accessible titles (NGSTACK-961), among others.

This release also ships a complete documentation set for the v4 skeleton: a rewritten

README.md

with platform badges, tech stack table, Quick Start, and siteaccess reference, plus a full

doc/sevenx/INSTALL.md

covering Requirements, Architecture, Ibexa 4.6 setup,

exponential:install

, SQLite / MySQL / PostgreSQL setup, Nginx and Apache web server config, frontend and admin UI asset builds, GraphQL, Solr, Varnish, Day-to-Day Ops, Troubleshooting, and a full CLI Reference.

We remind users that Exponential Platform Nexus v4 supports PHP 8.1 through 8.4+ on Symfony 6.4 LTS. 7x recommends running PHP 8.3 or 8.4 for the best combination of performance and security. New installations work as expected using the installer.
