Statamic 6 is officially here - and our addons are ready to go!
The long-awaited Statamic 6 has been released, and this is such an incredible update. With a new and incredibly user-focused user interface and search features, and a full modernisation of the under-the-hood codebase, this is an upgrade that sets Statamic’s place as a leader in modern web content management systems.
And as an addon developer, we’ve been busy ensuring all of our addons are working with Statamic 6.
For full details, refer to the upgrade guides for each of our addons.
Compatibility
We’ve worked with Statamic 6 for the past few months and ensured our addons are ready to go with Statamic 6.
Given Statamic 6’s UI updates, some addons are major updates that require you to update your composer dependencies and should be ready to go quickly: there’s nothing breaking with this update. These are:
Iconamic
Logger
Sticky Notes
Stripe Checkout Fieldtype
TinyMCE Cloud
Variable Number Fieldtype
Our other addons are compatible with both Statamic 5 and 6 on their current versions: a composer update will get you the latest versions.
| Addon | Statamic 5 | Statamic 6 |
|---|---|---|
| Australia Post Shipping for Simple Commerce | 3 | Requires Cargo |
| Feedamic | 2 or 3 | 3 |
| Form Submission Cleaner | 1 | 1 |
| Google Fonts | 2 | 2 |
| Iconamic | 2 | 3 |
| Logger | 2 | 3 |
| Scheduled Cache Invalidator | 2 | 2 |
| Sitemapamic | 3 | 3 |
| Sticky Notes | 1 | 2 |
| Stripe Checkout Fieldtype | 2 | 3 |
| TinyMCE Cloud | 3 | 4 |
| Two Factor | 2 | Core feature |
| Variable Number Fieldtype | 2 | 3 |
Australia Post Shipping for Simple Commerce is not supported on Statamic 6 because Simple Commerce is not compatible with Statamic 6: Simple Commerce has evolved in to the incredible Cargo addon - and we will be creating a new addon for Cargo soon.
Two Factor for Statamic
Our Two Factor for Statamic addon is not compatible with Statamic 6 - because two factor authentication is now a core feature of Statamic, following the acquisition of our addon by Statamic. That’s really exciting!
Support for older versions
Moving forward, we will be focusing on modern Statamic, and ensuring our addons are working with the latest major versions of Statamic. This will mean that older versions will still work on older versions of Statamic, however are no longer being actively developed and new features will only be in the latest versions.
What this means for you now? There are no changes yet - all of our addons are both v5 and v6 compatible (check out the compatibility details above), but as Statamic and Laravel continue to evolve, we want to be focused on maintaining a modern code base too.
