EasyAdmin 4 Released

15 Jan 2022

EasyAdmin 4, the latest version of the fast and beautiful admin generator for Symfony applications, is now available. Even if it’s a major release, most projects can upgrade from EasyAdmin 3.x without making a single change.

EasyAdmin 4.x doesn’t include any new feature different from the ones included in the recent 3.x releases. However, it increases the minimum requirements to PHP 8.0 and Symfony 5.4. We had to do this because we couldn’t make EasyAdmin 3.x compatible with Symfony 4.x, 5.x and 6.x.

In summary:

• If you can’t upgrade to PHP 8 or Symfony 6.x, keep using EasyAdmin 3.x. You won’t get new features, but you’ll keep getting most bug fixes.
• If you are already using PHP 8 or Symfony 5.4/6.0, upgrade to EasyAdmin 4.x as soon as possible. The upgrade will be smooth and you’ll get all the great new features that we’ll start adding to EasyAdmin 4.x.

A minor but noticeable change in EasyAdmin 4.x is the new “Welcome Page”, which is what you see by default when generating a new EasyAdmin dashboard with the command php bin/console make:admin:dashboard

A major feature removed in this version is the command that upgraded the YAML files used to configure EasyAdmin 2 into the PHP files used by EasyAdmin 3. If you are upgrading from EasyAdmin 2, upgrade first to 3.x version, generate the PHP files automatically and then, keep upgrading to 4.x.
