After a hugely productive sprint last weekend, we released Mautic 4 alpha yesterday! 🎉

Incorporating support for Symfony 4, numerous dependency updates in preparation for PHP8 support (coming in one of the later releases), a beta of the Mautic Marketplace, and native Composer support!

This is a very early release and should only be used in a testing environment. Please join #mautic-4 on Slack if you would like to help with testing and future releases (get an invite at [https://mautic.org/slack](https://mautic.org/slack)).
