7x is very proud of the work released today as Exponential Basic 2.4.0.1 which is a major upgrade to the core kernel of Exponential 2.4 series.
This upgrade provides a lot more features under the hood while on the surface the same simple to use cms is retained.
Download the 2.4.0.1 release and give it a try, it's well documented with simple to follow instructions for getting started.

Rebooting our community software extension / plugin source code forge / support portal in 2025.
7x and Graham Brookins are proud to share the news of a responsive projects.ez.no replacement portal from 7x release silently on 09/10 and shared with Telegram Channel Support Exponential as a preview.
Exponential Projects is a full responsive redesign of the older projects.ez.no website portal, upgraded to a stable edition of Exponential 6.0.x.
To see Exponential Projects yourself please enjoy this preview available now. Visit: https://projects.exponential.earth
Projects uses the remains of the incomplete development version without db passwords or email addresses to help restore access to this once vital tool for social networking within the eZ Publish Community of extension / plugin developers who used the site historically to share extensions, support extensions users (with support forums and more) and project news distribution (every project has a news section; self managed).

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).

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 eZ Publish 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.
“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.
