Maintenance Release
Our latest maintenance release, 7.14.5 & 8.6.2, was rolled out earlier this month, featuring a substantial number of merged pull requests that address various improvements and fixes. If you haven’t seen the announcement yet, be sure to check it out here.
SuiteCRM 8.7 Beta
This week, we launched the 8.7 Beta release, featuring a major upgrade under the hood to Symfony 6.4 LTS. This required a substantial update to the SuiteCRM 8 backend.

Development of 8.8 is in full swing.

Additionally, we’ll be upgrading to Angular 18, transitioning from Module Federation to Native Federation.
PHP 8.3
We have started looking into upgrading to PHP 8.3. Once we have a clear understanding of the requirements, we’ll schedule the necessary work and share an update on when it will be available.
