Platform Requirements
- Minimal PHP version was increased from 7.3 to 7.4.
-
API
- OAuth1 support has been removed. Mautic supports the OAuth2 standard, including the Client Credentials grant, which was added in Mautic 4. Documentation can be found here: https://developer.mautic.org/#client-credentials
-
Symfony 4
- Symfony deprecations were removed or refactored https://github.com/symfony/symfony/blob/4.4/UPGRADE-4.0.md
- Services are now private by default in Symfony 4. Mautic has a "hack" to register its own services as public but dependency injection should be preferred for Commands, Controllers, and services. Some Symfony services may no longer be available to the Controller via the Container.
- \Mautic\CoreBundle\Form\Type\YesNoButtonGroupType now uses false/true values which Symfony 4 will convert to empty values for No in the UI. This shouldn't cause issues for most unless the field is using a NotBlank constraint, which is no longer valid, or submitting a form via a functional test with 0 as the value of a YesNoButtonGroupType field.

Important note about PHP vs Twig templates
Until recently, Symfony supported two templating engines: PHP and Twig. Mautic is pretty much exclusively built using the PHP templating engine. However, this engine was officially deprecated in Symfony 4.3 and has been removed in Symfony 5.
Starting with Mautic 4.3, we'd like new internal bundles as well as new plugins to be built in Twig. Mautic 4.3 introduces a working
MauticCoreBundle:Default:content.html.twig
alongside the already existingMauticCoreBundle:Default:content.html.php
that can be extended by bundle or plugin authors.Later on in the Mautic 4 development lifecycle, the aim will be to slowly migrate exiting bundles from the PHP templating engine over to Twig. The good thing is that both engines can co-exist until we upgrade to Symfony 5 at some point in the future, so we can migrate bundles and plugins one by one.

Services
mautic.http.client
has been upgraded from GuzzleHttp 6 to 7. You can now leveragePsr\Http\Client\ClientInterface
(PSR-18) orGuzzleHttp\Client
(more convenience methods) in your class constructors! Example:
config.php:
'mautic.demo.class' => [ 'class' => DemoClass::class, 'arguments' => [ 'mautic.http.client', ], ],
DemoClass.php
use Psr\Http\Client\ClientInterface; .... public function __construct( ClientInterface $client ) { $this->client = $client; }
mautic.http.connector
has been removed in favor ofmautic.http.client
. See the example above on how to use it in your class constructors.
-
IntegrationsBundle
- The
IntegrationEvents::INTEGRATION_CONFIG_BEFORE_SAVE
event was moved to a slightly later point in time. Thanks to this change, plugin developers can actually get the updated values that were submitted by the user. This way, listeners can modify values before persisting them to the database. This brings the functionality in line withConfigEvents::CONFIG_PRE_SAVE
.
- The

PluginBundle
- If you extend
AbstractIntegration
and use the methodmakeRequest
, including$options['return_raw']
, you will now get\Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface
as the response type (was\Joomla\CMS\Http\Response
) - If you're listening on the
Mautic\PluginBundle\PluginEvents::PLUGIN_ON_INTEGRATION_RESPONSE
event,PluginIntegrationRequestEvent->getResponse()
now returns\Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface
as the type (was not explicitly defined)
