Shopware 6.7 RC is a Release Candidate! This means that this version is not intended for live operation. Use only the regular major version for this purpose.
You can find the basic system requirements for Shopware 6 here.
The following versions are required for version 6.7:
Node.js 20 or higher
PHP 8.2, 8.3 and 8.4
Redis 7.0 or higher
MySQL 8.0.17 (problematic versions: 8.0.20, 8.0.21) or higher
Maria DB 10.11 (problematic versions: 10.11.5 & 11.0.3) or higher
Webpack to Vite migration:
A major shift from Webpack to Vite will modernize the frontend toolchain. Note that plugins including admin components will need separate versions for 6.6 and 6.7 due to this change.
Vue.js enhancements:
Full compatibility with Vue 3 will be achieved by moving out of compatibility mode.
Cache rework:
Enhanced caching mechanisms have been implemented, featuring delayed cache invalidation and the elimination of the Store API caching layer. These improvements are not solely about boosting performance but also about achieving greater caching efficiency. The storage requirements for the cache are expected to decrease, while cache hit rates should increase, as the focus shifts to caching frequently accessed data and minimizing the frequency of invalidations.
Major library updates:
Updates to critical libraries like PHPUnit (v11), League OAuth2 Server, and DomPDF.
Upgrading DBAL to version 4.0 to ensure long-term support and leverage the latest features.
