ExtensionMesh 0.1.0-beta.1 is an installable, reproducibly built release for broader evaluation and integration work.
Download the current package and release metadata from the beta.1 release . Use an isolated installation and keep a backup before testing.
Ready for beta evaluation
Registry sources
Add persistent HTTPS registry endpoints or compatible public GitHub repository URLs and refresh them through Administration.
Compatibility selection
Select releases using declared Shopware and PHP constraints before an installation is offered.
Installation and updates
Hand validated packages to the existing plugin lifecycle for installation, activation and updates.
Package integrity
Enforce SHA-256 checksums, archive size limits, ZIP preflight checks and production network restrictions.
GitHub publishing
Build a plugin with Shopware CLI and publish its ZIP, checksum and registry metadata from a version tag.
Authenticated sources
Store optional source credentials encrypted and restrict their use to the configured registry origin.
Beta validation checklist
Install the connector from its release ZIP
Confirm upload, installation, activation and Administration reload on a clean Shopware 6.7 test installation.
Add and refresh a real registry
Test both an explicit registry endpoint and, where applicable, a public GitHub repository URL.
Install one compatible extension
Record source attribution, selected version, package validation, installation and activation behavior.
Publish and install an update
Verify that a second release is discovered, selected as compatible and installed through the existing update lifecycle.
Exercise one failure path
Try an unreachable source, invalid checksum, incompatible version or broken package and record whether the error is actionable.
Report the result
Include versions, reproduction steps and sanitized logs in a public issue, or use private vulnerability reporting for security findings.
Known beta boundaries
- The maintained implementation currently targets Shopware 6.7.
- Interfaces, generated metadata and upgrade behavior may still change during the beta.
- GitHub repository URLs resolve the generated registry channel.
- Background or unattended extension installation is not provided.
- Registry validation is not a certification of publishers or extension code.
- No compatibility is promised for systems without a concrete maintained connector.
Evidence required before a stable release
- Repeated clean installations and connector upgrades across supported 6.7 releases.
- A complete external plugin publication and update performed from the public guide.
- At least one independently operated registry used successfully.
- Actionable errors for unavailable sources, incompatible releases and invalid packages.
- Quickstarts completed by testers without private setup knowledge.
- No unresolved high-severity security or data-loss issue.
- A versioned registry format with a documented compatibility policy.
Deliberately later
- Additional systems without a concrete connector and maintainer.
- A universal protocol designed ahead of working implementations.
- One central directory or required ExtensionMesh service.
- Additional repository providers without a demonstrated use case.
