Adobe Commerce 2.4.4 Release Notes
Adobe Commerce 2.4.4 will help future-proof your business with the latest technologies and features. Built on the newest version of PHP (8.1), it delivers:
- Significant performance boost
- Rich B2B and B2C capabilities
- Enhanced headless support
Spend fewer resources on platform maintenance and more time curating exceptional experiences for your customers, thanks to:
- New features delivered as independent services
- Lighter upgrades to the core codebase
To ensure you are fully supported to transition to 2.4.4, Adobe Commerce has:
- Shifted the Adobe Commerce 2.3 End of Support (EOS) date to September 8, 2022 to provide additional time to upgrade to 2.4.4. Customers who stay current with the latest Adobe Commerce versions are best protected against security vulnerabilities, remain PCI compliant, and benefit from the latest features.
- Added two security patch releases in August – 2.3.7-p4 and 2.4.3-p3 – to our 2022 release calendar to help customers on those versions stay secure and PCI compliant as they transition to 2.4.4.
- Created paid extended support options for customers on Adobe Commerce versions that use PHP 7.4 (versions 2.3.7, 2.4.0-2.4.3) who need more time to upgrade to 2.4.4 or higher. These options will extend support for one year after the version EOS date and will allow customers to contact our Support team for quality fixes and receive security patches to address vulnerabilities discovered. Please note, customers may still need to take additional measures to stay PCI compliant while on extended support.
