Bagisto v2.5.0 adds PostgreSQL support and a full stack upgrade to Laravel 13 + PHP 8.4 + Tailwind 4.

◆Current state
Bagisto is an open-source Laravel-based e-commerce platform currently in the v2.5.0 beta cycle. The headline v2.5.0-beta1 addition is PostgreSQL support via a database grammar abstraction layer — Bagisto was previously MySQL-only, which was a deployment blocker for teams on managed Postgres infrastructure. The same release bundles Laravel 13, PHP 8.4, Pest 5, and Tailwind CSS 4, making it one of the most comprehensive stack upgrades the project has shipped.
◆Where it's heading
Bagisto is targeting enterprise and cloud-hosted deployments with the PostgreSQL move, removing the database constraint that limited adoption on platforms where Postgres is the default (AWS RDS, Supabase, Heroku). The full-stack version upgrade signals a focus on staying current with the Laravel ecosystem rather than accumulating technical debt. v2.4.0 also removed visitor tracking entirely and upgraded the upgrade guide with breaking-change documentation — a pattern of deliberate architectural pruning.
◆Prediction
v2.5.0 stable will likely follow the beta cycle with database-compatibility testing across MySQL and PostgreSQL as the primary release gate; the Tailwind 4 migration may drive a round of UI theme updates from community contributors.

    ⚡ SPARK

    v2.5.0-beta1 is the biggest Bagisto release in the v2.x cycle: PostgreSQL support via a grammar abstraction layer removes the MySQL-only constraint, while simultaneous upgrades to Laravel 13, PHP 8.4, Pest 5, and Tailwind CSS 4 modernize the entire stack in one beta.

    v2.4.0-beta6

    v2.4.0-beta6 removes the shetabit/visitor package and all visitor tracking functionality (dashboard widgets, product visit metrics, purchase funnel data) and documents the v2.3→v2.4 breaking changes including the Magic AI SDK migration — deliberate architectural pruning ahead of the v2.5 cycle.
