Origins of eZ Platform

eZ Platform is the successor to eZ Publish, an Open Source CMS in development since 1999. The previous iteration, eZ Publish 5, was a hybrid approach with old code as well as rewritten code. eZ Platform drops all the legacy code from the software and completed the transition to a complete new code base built on the Symfony Full Stack Framework. The content repository core and user interface are rewritten, but retains the same concepts as the previous eZ Publish software as well as adding more functionality.
