Thanks to contributors

Many thanks to the people who helped us shape the new version of the Themosis framework, from feedback to pull requests and code reviews.

Feel free to start a conversation below if you have any questions or simply want to post nice comments 🙂

Is it backward compatible ?

No… at least not by running a simple composer update command. The new version has been refactored. It now provides a more verbose API and with it, some breaking changes unfortunately.

Nonetheless, it is still possible to upgrade to the 2.0 release if you have an application running on a 1.3.* version. It is a manual process but we have provided a list of elements to look after in the “upgrade guide” on the official documentation website.
