Innomatic Legacy 6.5 is our most stable and feature rich Innomatic 6.x version to date. Until the release of Innomatic Platform 8, the legacy stack will still be needed for new Innomatic applications development. Either if you intend to start using the Innomatic 7.x Symfony stack or if you plan to use Legacy and pure 6.x functionality, this is our recommended LTS release.

Highlights

This new release adds:

...

• Support for integration inside the new Innomatic Platform stack based on Symfony
• Composer integration at the application level
• Automatic dependency resolution from AppCentral during application installation/upgrade
• Cleaner code (removed lot of PHP notices and deprecated functions)
  

6.5 Features

Innomatic Platform integration

Innomatic 6.5 is intended to be installed stand alone or inside the new Innomatic Platform 7.x.

In the latter case, Innomatic Platform applications and any other external code installed through Composer may access the Innomatic Legacy container and code using a sandboxed PHP closure through the \Innomatic\Core\RootContainer->runCallback() method.

Composer integration

Using Composer, legacy applications can now define their dependencies to external code and to updated Innomatic legacy applications containing a composer.json file.

To avoid timeouts we recommend installing applications with Composer dependencies using the applications.php CLI script in place of the applications web control panel.

You can check inside the code if a valid Composer autoloader is available through the \Innomatic\Core\RootContainer->hasComposer() method. In that case, any package installed in the vendor directory using Composer is available to Innomatic Legacy through the Composer autoloader.

Automatic dependency resolution
