We’re pleased to announce Pimcore Platform Version 2025.4, our latest Long‑Term Support (LTS) release - a milestone that positions Pimcore for long-term stability, modern system architecture, and a streamlined path toward the next generation of our editing experience.
With 2025.4, Pimcore offers first-class compatibility with Symfony 7, while continuing to support Symfony 6.4 for now. This ensures flexibility depending on your project’s needs.
Using the pimcore/symfony-freeze metapackage lets you specify which major Symfony version your project targets. This flexibility helps you align with internal policies or compatibility constraints.
Important: Support for all Symfony 6.x components will be removed in Platform Version 2026.1 - so migrating to Symfony 7 should be part of your long-term strategy.
By adopting Symfony 7, you get access to the latest PHP ecosystem improvements, making Pimcore 2025.4 an ideal foundation for new, future‑oriented projects.
Platform Version 2025.4 is officially designated as an LTS release, with support extended to three years from the release date. This provides organizations with:
One of the forward-looking additions in 2025.4 is experimental support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. This enables external AI agents and large-language models (LLMs) to access Pimcore-managed data - providing a direct bridge between structured data and intelligent automation.
With integrated support for Datahub Simple-Rest endpoints, the MCP Server can become a powerful enabler for:
This experimental feature signals Pimcore’s strategic commitment to AI-readiness and robust data interoperability.
Pimcore Studio is not part of Platform Version 2025.4 and thus also not part of the LTS promise. However, Pimcore Studio is compatible with Platform Version 2025.4 and can be used alongside it.
Platform Version 2025.4 bundles will receive ongoing functionality updates for Pimcore Studio compatibility until the release of Platform Version 2026.1.
Therefore, Platform Version 2025.4 will support both the Admin Classic UI and Pimcore Studio in parallel.
With the release of Platform Version 2026.1, Platform Version 2025.4:
Platform Version 2025.4 is the final release supporting Admin UI Classic. Starting with 2026.1, it will be removed entirely. These changes emphasize Pimcore’s clean transition to a modern, unified experience management environment.
To streamline Pimcore’s modular architecture and reflect the shift toward Studio-based management, 2025.4 marks the beginning of a broader deprecation of legacy bundles and UI components. Among those deprecated or marked for removal:
In the scheduled releases before Christmas 2025, Pimcore Studio will redefine data and content management for editors with an intuitive, performant, and AI-augmented interface.
This marks a significant milestone for us, fully supporting editors' work in Pimcore Studio only. No need to switch back to Admin Classic UI anymore for the most common editor tasks anymore.
Pimcore Platform Version 2025.4 is more than a release — it is a strategic launchpad for future innovation, offering:
This release cements Pimcore’s role as the leading open digital platform for composable data and experience management. Partners and clients alike are empowered to build faster, scale smarter, and innovate further.
