Core Technical Upgrades
The most critical change in Mautic 6.0 is the migration to Symfony 6, a major PHP framework update that enhances security, performance, and compatibility with modern PHP standards like PHP 8.3. This shift involved extensive code refactoring, including the removal of deprecated components such as the legacy Guard authentication system, replaced by Symfony’s native authentication mechanisms. Additionally, outdated dependencies like Froala WYSIWYG editor, CodeMirror, and ModernizrJS were removed to streamline the codebase and reduce technical debt
