Funding Request: My work - Neos 9 Stabilisation - June, July 2026

The Neos Project Finances & Fundraising
1

Hi dear Neosianer,

In April i started working on major parts of the Neos 9 Content Repository to stabilise it further.

In May i have requested a funding for the time invested until that point as well as a budget of 30 hours for finalisation.

The budget requested for finalisation turned out a little short sighted.

:honeybee: My work from mid May to start of July

After my last funding request I ended up spending more than 100 hours.

  • Finalise initial content stream layer introduction (2h)
  • Finalise and test UTC date handling in Neos and the Eventstore (5h)
  • Event migration to adjust events recordedAt time stamp to UTC timezone base on plausible possible initiatingTimestamp reference (+ Introduction of CRUpgrade’s and Behat tests for event migrations) (7.5h)
  • Finalise and release Neos Event-store 2.0 and adapter 3.0 (8.5h)
  • Parallel tests for workspace creation, Parallel workspace writing, Base workspace change, and their race conditions and content repository locking (7h)
  • Automatically generated performant hierarchy relation subqueries based on Sebastian’s concept/prototype. (15h)
  • Speed up hierarchy relation queries for MySQL (findReferences optimisations) (4h)
  • Neos 9.2 Database schema upgrade and replay CLI command (6h)
  • Duplicate SubtreeWasUntagged bug (5h)
  • Testing, benchmarking and tuning replay performance and query performance of the hierarchy layers (Neos.io, starship, …) (10+h)
  • Neos 9.1 compatibility graph projection to possibly smooth out upgrade (5h)
  • Neos.io upgrade to Neos 9.2.0-beta1 and database migration and local testing and stage testing and production deployment (7+h)
  • Event migration to repair race conditioned’ base workspace changes + Behat tests (7h)

Total = 89h

Substracting already requested funding from May: 30h

Remaining = 59h

:playground_slide: More unfunded things …

  • Finalising the code and testing for all of the above (12+h)
  • PR juggling
  • Releasing
  • Watching CI’s work
  • Various reviews and discussions
  • Developer meetings
  • Sprints (Karlsruhe)
  • Experimenting with new things like an advanced SQL query building for Neos?

:blueberries: The Results

The change set is ready for testing via the Neos 9.2 Beta-1 Release
And the changes possible for back-port are available via the Latest Patch Release

Further our own Neos.io runs already on the beta and i have published a post with it

:beer_mug: Funding

I like to apply for funding of the 59 hours of work and for 8 hours of additional polishing for the 9.2 release.

… I have already a report for another race condition in legacy events which needs to be resolved similarly to “Event migration to repair race conditioned’ base workspace changes”

I would like to apply for funding of 6.700 € - covering 67 hours
