What's NEOS in July & August 2026
Summer moved on, but the community is still pollinating
Sebastian Helzle, Marika Hauke, Philip Berghoff
Hey Neos Community!
We took a little break and now present you what happened in July and September. The last two months were all about momentum for Neos 9: the second and third beta of the 9.2 line landed with a polished Neos.Ui and CR bugfixes riding along. We also saw fresh patch releases of the Neos package family, the kick-off of the monthly Crosspollination calls for agencies and freelancers and a burst of community packages, including the new Neos Studio community plugin, a llms.txt generation plugin and many more.
In addition, we are thrilled to announce that we’ve been able to win Kaufmann Digital as a Diamond Sponsor!
If you have ideas, feedback, or projects to share, we'd love to hear from you. Reach out anytime, especially via Slack in #guild-marketing.
Community highlights
These are some of the most active and interesting discussions in the Neos community this month:
- Funding Request: My work - Neos 9 Stabilisation - June, July 2026 – Marc Henry Schultz applied for covering his Neos 9 CR stabilisation work since mid-May (content stream layer, UTC event handling, Event-store 2.0, faster hierarchy-relation queries); the poll closed 9–0 in favour on July 15.
- One possible guide to replay projection locally and deploy remotely – A step-by-step guide to replay the content-graph projection on your machine and ship the result to staging/production, the exact approach used for the neos.io 9.2 upgrade.
- Kick-Off for the Community Crosspollination Meetings – Maya Bornschein started a monthly exchange call for Neos agencies and freelancers; the first Crosspollination call on August 14 discussed how agencies handle AI-assisted development.
- Help needed for finalising PostgreSQL and Neos 9 – Marc Henry Schultz explains the state of the PostgreSQL content graph adapter for Neos 9 and calls for developers, sponsors and sprint organizers to help finalise it.
- ContentRepository.Search Packages Overhaul – Denny Lubitz shares meeting notes on overhauling the ContentRepository.Search packages: property-mapping interfaces, thinner adapters and new indexing modes (full, batch, realtime, deferred).
- Neos Cache RedisBackend Garbage Collector – Alexander Hesse proposes implementing collectGarbage for the Redis cache backend to clean up stale keys from old deployments, and offers to contribute it to the Flow core.
- Roland created a plugin with concepts for an improved workspace review layout and workflow
A reminder for upcoming Neos events
- Sitegeist organizes a Neos sprint in Hamburg November 9-13th 2026.
Core releases
- Neos 9.2 Beta-2 Release
- The second beta of the 9.2 line, mostly a Neos.Ui effort. Polishes the edit-preview dropdown and button hover behaviour, and reworks the workspace selector once more. All Neos.Ui translations were finally moved from Neos.Neos into the Ui package, keeping every language intact.
- Neos 9.2 Beta-3 Release
- The third beta of the 9.2 line is mostly a Content Repository reliability effort: a race condition during content stream forking – discovered when a client's Neos 9.1 events failed to replay under 9.2 – can no longer occur.
- Neos Bugfix Releases: 9.1.7, 9.0.14
- Bugfixes for the new Content Repository, most importantly the graph projection fix "variation coverage restriction", plus many other CR stabilisation fixes. Includes a first contribution from Burhan @devclaim – welcome!
