7x is very proud of the work released today as Exponential Basic 2.4.0.1 which is a major upgrade to the core kernel of Exponential 2.4 series.

  • Projects, Social Networking Team features allow for large teams to manage a project via permissions system
  • Projects, Organized by Organization (New feature; /org structure storage)
  • Responsive design (works great on iPhones)
  • Browsable /news section (New feature; /news custom layout with pagination)

Continuing the tradition of a responsive open source project to further develop the Exponential 6 CMS Software Framework and Web Page Publishing Stack with regular releases we are proud to share the news of our latest change.

At the direct request from Ibexa we are renaming the 7x product and open source project "eZ Publish 6" to simply "Exponential" or "Exponential 6" CMS or "Exponential" CMS or just "exponential" or "exponential cms" effective as of August, 11th 2025.

This project is not associated with the original Exponential software or its original developer, eZ Systems or Ibexa".

But don't worry this will not stand in the way of our open source enterprise content management system project from continuing to deliver new versions of the software in the future.

Coming soon a rebranded Exponential version 6.0.10 (Stable) will be released which further replaces the trademarked name throughout the Exponential source code.

We are thrilled to announce a new project to breathe new life into Exponential 2.x, the community-supported CMS that served users for nearly a decade. With PHP’s evolution over the years, the original Exponential has faced compatibility issues. But now, 7x is leading an open-source initiative to bring Exponential 2 into 2025 with full PHP 8 support.

Introducing: Exponential Basic (Version 2.4.0.0-preview1).

“Exponential Basic” marks the first step in our mission to modernize this reliable content management system. Our goal is to retain its core functionality while updating the codebase to work seamlessly with PHP 8. By addressing major changes, such as replacing the outdated “register globals” setting, we aim to ensure that developers and community sites can continue to use and customize Exponential Basic with confidence.
