Hello Exponential Community! We write today to talk to you briefly about a little known feature in Exponential 6 called 'Cronjob Mode'.

What an exciting time to be a Exponential developer! One way and two way syncing of content via the syndication extension for Exponential 6.0.x is now available and publicly distributed to ensure everyone can download and use this extension to build amazingly powerful applications and website networks of websites. Download version 1.1.0 in zip or tar.gz files. Clone the repository or just install in seconds using composer. Enjoy my friends! Be well!

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.

This upgrade provides a lot more features under the hood while on the surface the same simple to use cms is retained.

Download the 2.4.0.1 release and give it a try, it's well documented with simple to follow instructions for getting started.

1. Introduction: What is Exponential Platform Legacy?

Exponential Platform Legacy is an Enterprise Content Management System (ECMS) built in PHP, originally released in 2012. It was created to serve large-scale websites, intranets, corporate portals, e-commerce platforms, and digital publishing solutions.

Unlike simple CMS platforms, Exponential Platform Legacy was designed with enterprise-grade requirements in mind: scalability, security, multilingual support, and complex workflows.

Over time, the platform evolved into Exponential Platform (modernized on the Symfony PHP framework) and eventually became 7x, a full Digital Experience Platform.

Rebooting our community software extension / plugin source code forge / support portal in 2025.

7x and Graham Brookins are proud to share the news of a responsive projects.ez.no replacement portal from 7x release silently on 09/10 and shared with Telegram Channel Support Exponential as a preview.

Exponential Projects is a full responsive redesign of the older projects.ez.no website portal, upgraded to a stable edition of Exponential 6.0.x.

Projects uses the remains of the incomplete development version without db passwords or email addresses to help restore access to this once vital tool for social networking within the eZ Publish Community of extension / plugin developers who used the site historically to share extensions, support extensions users (with support forums and more) and project news distribution (every project has a news section; self managed).

7x is happy to announce that we are now releasing the newly rebranded and improved Exponential 6.0.10 (Formerly eZ Publish 6) available now for download, installation, upgrade.

This release is our first as Exponential. The software is exactly the same as before as you expect it to be, with a simple text change to the software to replace the product name and remove the trademarked term.

Upgrade process for existing installations has not changed at all. New installations work as expected. Freedom for the Exponential Community is retained and stable for general use! No slowdowns here, full speed ahead!

We remind users that using the latest release which includes PHP Support for 8.4+ Headless CMS Featuring REST API Support (for v2 write crud). Remember to try the new responsive admin design (updated and refined to work on iPhones + Android cellular phones + tablets) enabled by default in the released Exponential version 6.0.9 the tenth release from 7x. Try out the new features today by downloading the software package now available (tar.gz or zip)!

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.
