Post-Mautic-7 reset, the project is layering meaningful capability on a freshly modernized core.

◆Current state
Mautic just shipped 7.1 'Canis Major' — the first feature-heavy release after the 7.0 platform reset that took the codebase to Symfony 7 and PHP 8.4. The 7.1 line bundles S/MIME email signing, scheduled email sending, login throttling, optimistic locking on emails and pages, an inline CKEditor inside the GrapesJS builder, and an upgraded bot-detection layer that auto-blocks 500+ user agents. Maintenance is active across three branches (7.x, 6.x, 5.x), with security backports landing simultaneously when CVEs warrant.
◆Where it's heading
Having paid down the dependency and PHP-version debt in 7.0, the team is now spending that headroom on concrete deliverability and operator features rather than architecture. The 7.1 changeset leans hard on email integrity, anti-spam, and editor ergonomics — the things self-hosters and agencies actually feel. Cadence is healthy: roughly one minor feature line per quarter, with point releases hitting every two to three weeks.
◆Prediction
Expect the next minor (7.2) to keep building on the deliverability and tracking surface — likely deeper privacy-mode tracking, more API Platform coverage, and continued GrapesJS/builder polish. A 6.x security-only train will keep running in parallel until the long-term-support window closes.

    Mautic 7.1 'Canis Major' adds S/MIME, scheduled sends, and bot blocking

    ⚡ SPARK

    The first feature-heavy release after the 7.0 platform reset, and the centerpiece of the current trajectory. Adds S/MIME email signing, scheduled sending, login throttling, optimistic locking on emails and pages, inline CKEditor inside GrapesJS, and a bot-detection layer that auto-blocks 500+ user agents — the deliverability-and-operator agenda the 7.0 cleanup was meant to unlock.

    Mautic Community 7.0.2

    A targeted bug-fix release on the 7.0 line covering webhook memory exhaustion, scheduling fields on segment emails, Salesforce integration detachment, and Focus item HTML handling. Reinforces the pattern of multi-branch maintenance running alongside the 7.1 feature push.

    Mautic Community 7.1.0 RC: Canis Major Edition

    Release candidate for what later shipped as 7.1 GA. Same feature surface as the final release — useful as the public preview that gave integrators time to validate plugins against the new email signing, optimistic locking, and bot-detection layers.

    Mautic Community 7.0.1

    Security release on the 7.0 line addressing GHSA-r5j5-q42h-fc93, plus a focused bug sweep across email links, UTM handling, ZIP imports, and the upgrade package. Shows the project handling a coordinated cross-branch security disclosure without disrupting the 7.1 trajectory.
