About Exponential Platform
Today
We have released Exponential Platform 2.5.0.0 to the general public.
We are actively working to bring Exponential Platform 2.5.0.1 to end users who want more than just basic PHP 8 Support.
Exponential Platform 2.5 is the completed work started by 7x last year to upgrade Exponential Platform 2 CMS Implementation of a easy to use PHP Personal Home Page CMS or Community Website Building Platform to more modern PHP versions.
The story
Previously this was developed and released as eZ Platform 2.5 and later as Ibexa DXP the open source enterprise content management system.
We are rebranding this software and also incrementing the version number from 2.5 to 2.5.x.x to give more version number space while clearly marking this release as unique. Short standard for the version numbers will be 2.5
Goals:
- Provide an educational project for new developers to learn Exponential Platform development concepts.
- Deliver a simple starter solution for building a PHP-based CMS.
- Enable a lightweight alternative for personal home page-based CMS needs.
Tested with PHP 8.3
- All software has been heavily tested, documented and bug-fixed to run with known patterns of php7 code which still generate warnings but no fatal errors upon use.
Remaining work to provide full PHP 8.3+ Compatibility
The remaining work to test, bug-fix and document all modules individually as PHP8 Compatible
- Current efforts surround going through each admin and user module views per module and fixing all warnings and errors on initial page load. (Page load error free)
- Next efforts surround going through the software usage, documenting warnings from software code issues and refactor them until no further warnings regarding deprecated code are issued. This is a tedious and time consuming detail oriented task as most errors exist in external packages via GitHub.

Hosting for your Exponential Platform based web application can be obtained for nominal cost in today's modern era with exceptional end user and administration performance.
Most hosting allows so much more features by default instead of by price paid in extras which were really more basic needs and requirements unmet by a vendor of past days.
