Back in 2024 we shared our 15-year-long quest for perfect language packs. That first system did the job, but it leaned on a lot of moving parts behind the scenes, and the old translations it was built on were never the highest quality to begin with.
So we rebuilt the whole thing from scratch around a much simpler idea, started the translations over from a clean, higher-quality base, and while we were at it, added three brand-new languages.
Following the sprint of 26.3.0, this release goes deeper into the engine room: new flagship modules (PayPal, AI, Intelligence), a wave of core modernizations (typed routing, PHP attributes for observers and cron, rewritten date APIs), and the usual long tail of improvements, fixes and polish.
26.5.0 is one of the most ambitious modernization releases Maho has ever shipped.

We're kicking off 2026 with yet another monumental milestone: multi-database support. For the first time ever, Maho can run on PostgreSQL and SQLite alongside MySQL!
But that's just the beginning. This release also brings passwordless authentication, a complete gift card module, automated product linking rules, dozens of frontend improvements, and full PHP 8.5 compatibility.

This has been one of the most intensive releases we've ever shipped, and the name says it all, Core Fission represents the moment Maho stops being a fork and becomes a drop-in modern replacement for the Magento 1 framework, the ecommerce framework that everybody loved, with complete compatibility. We've eliminated every last piece of Zend Framework, purged all the old JavaScript libraries for modern vanilla, and migrated the entire Varien namespace to proper Maho classes with PHP 8.3+ namespacing.
This isn't just cleaning house, it's splitting off from two decades of accumulated tech debt to emerge as something entirely new. Maho's framework is now based on Symfony, Doctrine, Laminas, and other major modern maintained libraries that will be around for years to come.
The result? A cleaner, faster, more maintainable platform that drops right into your existing setup and is ready for the next decade of ecommerce.
This release also introduces what might just be the best email automation platform ever built into an ecommerce system, giving you enterprise-level marketing tools right out of the box.
