About Adobe Commerce
2.4.8 is the release that pulls Adobe Commerce toward its Edge Delivery storefront.
Adobe Commerce 2.4.8 is the current line: PHP 8.4 and MariaDB 11.4 compatibility, security work, more than 500 quality fixes, and GraphQL API improvements aimed squarely at moving merchants onto the new Edge Delivery-powered storefront, with support committed through April 2028. A 2.4.9 beta is already out with narrower changes. The rest of the captured feed is Experience League documentation navigation rather than release content.
