Friendly reminder, that the public demo for the PrestaShop Project from the maintainers team will happen next week, on Wednesday, November 9th, 2022 at 4pm CET!

We expect to share with you project news and present two topics:

• Introducing: new back office API, by @atomiix
• PrestaShop 8.1 and beyond, by @FabienVallon

At the end of every meeting, we hold a Q&A session. You can ask your questions beforehand. If you have some, about things related to the open source project, feel free to ask using this form. We will answer them during the Q&A session.

Join us on YouTube!

The session will be kept in record on YouTube, so even if you can’t attend the live stream, you will still be able to catch up later.

See you then!

This edition of the Core Weekly report highlights changes in PrestaShop’s core codebase from Monday 24th to Sunday 30th of October 2022.

General messages

Dear developers,

PrestaShop 8 is available! This is an important moment for everyone involved in the project. All project members would like to thank the community for their involvement in this new version.

The Hummingbird theme maintainers team decided to release its early version. If you are working with PrestaShop themes, this is a great chance to get your hands on this new version to see what the future holds.

We want to remind you about next week’s PrestaShop Project Public Demo. We meet on November 9th at 4 PM CET.

Last but not least, October was the last month of the Core Weekly summaries you are currently reading. Starting in November, we will gather information about the project to be published in the Core Monthly summary. So the next post of this type is to be published at the beginning of December. We believe this new format will be easier for everyone to track and allow us to provide you with more relevant information about the project.

Happy contributin’ everyone!

The maintainers team is pleased to announce that PrestaShop 8.0 is officially available.

PrestaShop 8, the first major version since the original release of PrestaShop 1.7.0 back in 2016, is an important milestone for the project.

A significant cleanup has been performed in the codebase, with several internal components updated, modified or removed. PrestaShop 8 is also the project’s first company-neutral release, meaning that it no longer includes commercial products and services built-in.

In addition to over 170 bug fixes (including 4 new fixes since the release candidate), PrestaShop 8 brings compatibility with PHP 8.1, updated libraries including Symfony 4.4, an improved experimental product page, a new security page, and many other features for developers and merchants alike. You can read all about them here: What’s new in PrestaShop 8.

PrestaShop 8 is a major version in the SemVer sense of the word. This means that while it brings several new features and a number of important changes, most themes from PrestaShop 1.7 should remain compatible with PrestaShop 8. Some modules, however, might need to be updated to be compatible with this new version. To learn more, read Migrate your solutions from PrestaShop 1.7 to 8.0, and the detailed developer documentation.

Download

PrestaShop 8.0 is available on GitHub:

Upgrade

Important: The 1-Click Upgrade module is not yet able to safely upgrade shops to PrestaShop 8.0 due to a number of known issues. The v4.15 release, enabling the upgrade to 8.0, is expected in the next few weeks. Stay tuned for news.

Known issues

You can find the list of known issues here: List of known issues on PrestaShop 8.0. The remaining regressions are expected to be fixed in upcoming patch releases.
