7x Releases Exponential Platform Nexus 1.1.0.7

7x is happy to announce the release of Exponential Platform Nexus v1.1.0.7 for the v3 / eZ Platform 3.3 product line, available now for download and installation from GitHub.

This release completes the full port of the Exponential Platform Nexus skeleton to eZ Platform 3.3 / Symfony 5.4 LTS / PHP 8.0+. It is the first production-ready v3 release to ship a one-command content installer, correct nglayouts seed data, and comprehensive installation documentation. For the full technical breakdown see the v1.1.0.0…v1.1.0.7 commit log.

The headline feature is bin/console exponential:install exponential-media; — a self-contained one-command installer that provisions the full Exponential Media content package on SQLite, MySQL, or PostgreSQL with no manual SQL imports. The installer handles composite primary key reconstruction on SQLite, idempotent schema re-runs, seed data import, and media storage directory copy in a single pass. A

ExponentialSqliteGateway

replaces the vendor SQLite ID generator to prevent collision with imported seed data.

Five critical nglayouts data corrections ship in this release. Seed data distributed with the package originally carried v4 (

ibexa_*

) identifiers incompatible with the v3 nglayouts service registry. Rule targets, rule conditions, query types, collection item value types, block definition identifiers, and internal link URI schemes have all been corrected across the SQLite, MySQL, and PostgreSQL data files. An admin UI TypeError caused by the v4

ibexa_path(location)

call in

nglayouts/meta.html.twig

has been fixed via a project-level template override using the v3

ez_urlalias

route.

This release also ships a complete documentation set for the v3 skeleton: a rewritten

README.md

with platform badges, tech stack table, Quick Start, and siteaccess reference, plus a 1,800-line

doc/sevenx/INSTALL.md

covering 23 sections from Requirements and Architecture through SQLite / MySQL / PostgreSQL setup, Nginx and Apache web server config, frontend and admin UI asset builds (

yarn ez

), GraphQL, Solr, Varnish, Day-to-Day Ops, Database Conversion, and a full CLI Reference.

We remind users that Exponential Platform Nexus v3 supports PHP 8.0 through 8.4+ on Symfony 5.4 LTS. 7x recommends running PHP 8.3 or 8.4 for the best combination of performance and security. Upgrade process for existing v3 installations is unchanged. New installations work as expected using the installer.

You can review the release notes or download the release from GitHub (tar.gz or zip)!
