eZ Publish 4 (Referred to as legacy in eZ Publish Platform 5.x and higher)

What is eZ Publish?

eZ Publish is reaching end of life by 2021, current releases are primarily
aimed at easing migration to it's successor; eZ Platform

eZ Publish is a professional PHP application framework with advanced CMS
(content management system) functionality. As a CMS its most notable feature
is its fully customizable and extendable content model.
It is also suitable as a platform for general PHP development, allowing
you to develop professional Internet applications, fast.

Standard CMS functionality, like news publishing, e-commerce and forums is
built in and ready for you to use. Its stand-alone libraries can be
used for cross-platform, secure, database independent PHP projects.

eZ Publish is database, platform and browser independent. Because it is
browser based it can be used and updated from anywhere as long as you have
access to the Internet.

What is eZ Platform?

eZ Publish's successor, eZ Platform, is a highly extensible, pure Content
Managment Platform. It provides the same flexible content model at it's
core like eZ Publish, and has a growing amount of additional features
outside the traditional CMS scope provided by means of "Bundles"
extending it.

It is built on top of the full Symfony Framework, giving developers
access to "standard" tools for rapid web & application development.
