Sylius v1.9 is rockin’, updated Support Portal 

& new Sylius Academy website

Things are looking good! Our most recent release introducing an upgrade to Symfony 5 and a richer API is getting more attention. After 2 months it has been organically accepted by our community ⭐

If you want more details on Sylius 1.9, take a look at our release blog post by Lukasz Chrusciel.

Take a look at some of new Sylius Plus projects signed that contributed to this result!

Don’t know if you know, but Sylius Plus offers a Support Portal, where both Open Source and Plus topics can be openly addressed by the whole Sylius Plus community.

We delivered a sample solution within 3 days and from now on, order items are versioned. Maybe you can benefit from this fix?

Here’s a quick recap on the last new courses at the Academy:

And about Sylius 1.9 courses, we’re working on one overviewing new Sylius API features and additional API customization ideas!

You’re probably wondering what’s been going on business-wise in the last three months, right? Wonder no more - here’s a memo, just for you:

• Sylius packages (all) downloaded 11M times (packagist.org)

• Sylius Developers Slack surpassed 4k users (join now!)

• Sylius is on avg installed 50k times/ month (packagist.org)

We're working on a website describing the differences between Sylius and Magento products - from technical & business perspectives. Maybe it'll come in handy when explaining to your clients/ peers what replatforming to Sylius can do for your e-commerce!
