Drupal Core News

Drupal 11.0 will require PHP 8.3 and MySQL 8.0

Drupal 11 development has reached a point where the system requirements are being raised in the development branch. To prepare core developers for this and to inform the community at large, we are announcing the following requirements for Drupal 11.

Webserver

We announced in mid-February that there is an RFC to remove support for Windows in production. Other webserver requirements are unchanged.

Drupal 11 is now open for development, Drupal 10.3.x is branched

Starting today, the Drupal 11.x branch is used for building the next major Drupal version, Drupal 11. This means that major version specific changes can now happen on the Drupal 11.x branch. This includes dependency and requirements updates and removal of deprecated API and extensions. Details are available in the allowed changes during Drupal core release cycle document.

RFC Remove support for Windows in production in Drupal 11

Drupal added support for IIS in 2010 and we have supported that and WAMP (Running Apache and PHP on Windows). Unfortunately, we have never been able to provide automated testing for these environments.  And since 2010, the use of Microsoft products for hosting websites has declined. Because of this, the Drupal core committers propose drop support for Windows when used on production web sites in Drupal 11.

DrupalCI and all patch testing will be turned off on July 1, 2024

To continue automated testing, projects must convert to GitLab CI and contributors must switch from patches to merge requests by July 1, 2024.

Claro contribution day on December 15th, 2023

Claro has been the default administration theme for Drupal for more than one year now. The list of issues and new features that we want to introduce has been growing and we’d like to bring the community together to join forces and finish initiatives needed for the new improvements (like CSS modernization) or review each other's work and get it committed.

We’ll prepare and organize efforts in advance with issues for all levels and profiles, and we’ll work on several time zones.
