Modernizing a CMS isn’t about fixing what’s broken, it’s about leading its evolution. In this post, we share how dotCMS is taking a UX-led approach to future-proof the platform, aligning usability, scalability, and long-term product strategy to support what’s next.
Announcing four upcoming modernization initiatives to the dotCMS platform: the full transition to an Evergreen release model, a major core upgrade to Java 25, migration from OpenSearch 1.x to 3.x, and the start of a journey to full IPv6 infrastructure.

In this post, I’ll walk you through how to try the `java-25` images locally, what to expect from the upgrade, how to rebuild your plugins in a few minutes, and why we’re asking you to kick the tires now, long before Java 11 support sunsets.
