With Shopware 6.7.6.0, we’re releasing the first minor release of this year. It focuses on smaller improvements, which you can read more about below. The next minor release is already in the works and is planned for early February.
Overview:
More security for customer accounts: email notification on password changes
With this release, we’ve further improved the security of customer accounts. From now on, a confirmation email is automatically sent whenever customers change their password. This makes it easier to quickly identify unusual or unintended password changes.
Faster generation of category SEO URLs
The generation of SEO URLs for categories has been optimized. Instead of processing all child categories synchronously, updates are now handled asynchronously via the Category Indexer.
Especially for online stores with a large number of categories, this significantly improves performance and prevents duplicate or unnecessary SEO URL generation – resulting in more reliable background processes.
Small UX improvements in the administration
These two usability improvements come with Shopware 6.7.6.0:
- Search in the settings module: A new search bar in the settings helps you quickly find configuration options without navigating through multiple sections.
- Loading indicator for longer page loads: When a page takes more than two seconds to load, a loading indicator is now shown instead of a blank page.
Shopware 6.7.6.0 also includes several technical improvements for developers:
Experimental HTTP caching rework: A new caching policy system allows defining HTTP cache behavior per area and per route using configuration. The feature can be enabled via the
CACHE_REWORKfeature flag. For more details see the caching policies documentation.Extended Store API caching support: Selected Store API endpoints are now cacheable and return Cache-Control headers, improving performance for cacheable API requests.
PHP 8.5 support: Shopware is now fully compatible with PHP 8.5.

We wish you lots of fun and success with the latest version of Shopware.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to all GitHub contributors for their pull requests that have been incorporated into this version. 💙
