Ibexa DXP v4.0 deprecations and backwards compatibility breaks

Ibexa DXP v4.0 introduces changes to significant parts of the code to align with the product name change from earlier eZ Platform.

These changes include changing repository names, namespaces, filenames, function names, and others.

A backwards compatibility layer ensures that custom implementations and extensions using the older naming should function without change.

Namespaces

Namespaces in the product which referred to old product names now use the Ibexa name.

All namespace changes are listed in the ibexa/compatibility-layer repository.

Refer to mapping reference for a full comparison of old and new bundle names and namespaces.

Tip

To make sure your code is up to date with the new namespaces, you can use the Ibexa PhpStorm plugin. The plugin indicates deprecated namespaces and suggests updating them to new ones.

Richtext namespace

The internal format of richtext has changed.

All namespace changes are listed in the richtext repository.

Minor changes

  • AbstractBuilder::createMenuItem return type is now ItemInterface only.
  • Meaningless properties added to the Doctrine schema now throw an exception. This is prevents indexes from being placed erroneously in the root table.
  • The following deprecated service tags have been dropped: ezsystems.platformui.application_config_provider, ezpublish.content_view_provider, ezpublish.fieldType, ezpublish.fieldType.parameterProvider, ezpublish.fieldType.indexable, ezpublish.fieldType.externalStorageHandler, ezpublish.fieldType.externalStorageHandler.gateway, ezpublish.location_view_provider, ezpublish.query_type, ezpublish.searchEngineIndexer, ezpublish.searchEngine, ezpublish.storageEngine.legacy.converter
  • Ibexa\Contracts\Core\MVC\EventSubscriber\onConfigScopeChange::onConfigScopeChange now takes ScopeChangeEvent $event instead of SiteAccess $siteAccess as argument.
