This Week in Drupal Core: October 9, 2013

Welcome to the third edition of This week in Drupal Core!

What's new in Drupal 8?

Goodbye, legacy BC routing support!

This week's most exciting news: After five months of work, we've removed the legacy BC support from the routing system. This means that module developers testing Drupal 8's APIs will quickly discover the need to upgrade their hook_menu() page callbacks to route declarations and page controllers, and we can surface gaps in the new system. Next steps: remove the legacy menu router entirely and fix core's routing API documentation to clean up stale, inaccurate information and provide clearer explanations of the new system.

This Week in Drupal Core: October 2, 2013

The most notable Drupal core news since last time around is DrupalCon Prague happened, with lots of Drupal 8 sessions, sprints, and all-around goodness.

Dozens of core developers spent over 30 hours in 20 dedicated brainstorms and deep-dives to solve hard problems in Drupal 8 core, focusing on three critical areas: Drupal 8 API completion, developer experience (DX), and performance. The notes from these talks can be found at http://bit.ly/prague-notes and are making their way to the issue queue.

And, of course, lots and lots of sprinting! There were 120+ sprinters on Monday, before the conference even started, which required folks to sprint on the floor since we ran out of tables and chairs. :) Friday's sprints sported hundreds more, in both the main contribution sprint room and the Get Involved with Core Sprint, and about 30 hardcore folks even stayed the weekend past the conference. The RTBC queue for Drupal 8 core was 170+ issues by Monday.

This Week in Drupal Core: September 18, 2013

Welcome to the inaugural entry in the "This Week in Drupal Core" series, which aims to highlight cool happenings in and around Drupal core for people who don't have their home pages set to http://drupal.org/project/issues/user (as shocking as it may be to hear, apparently these people exist ;)).

Overall, energy in the core queue has largely been spent around readying things for DrupalCon Prague (in just a few short days, EEEEE!), which means a particular focus on un-blocking various initiatives, completing conversions, and improving developer experience so our presentations are a lot less embarrassing. :D
