This week the latest minor version of Drupal 8, 8.5.0, was released.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
> This new version makes Media module available for all, improves migrations
|
|||
|
|
> significantly, stabilizes the Content Moderation and Settings Tray modules,
|
|||
|
|
> serves dynamic pages faster with BigPipe enabled by default, and introduces a
|
|||
|
|
> new experimental entity layout user interface. The release includes several
|
|||
|

> very important fixes for workflows of content translations and supports
|
|||
|
|
> running on PHP 7.2.

I’ve been very impressed by the new release cycle Drupal 8 and the usage of
|
|||
|
|
semantic versioning. Though it adds a greater maintenance overhead for module,
|
|||
|
|
theme, installation profile and distribution developers to ensure that our
|
|||
|
|
projects are still working properly, having the ability to add new modules into
|
|||
|
|
Drupal core as well as new installation profiles like the [Unami demonstration
|
|||
|
|
profile][2] is pretty cool!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
For example, in addition to Unami, 8.5 alone adds media in core, two
|
|||
|
|
experimental modules have been marked as stable, an experimental new layout
|
|||
|
|
builder has been added and lots of PHP 7.2 improvements have been committed to
|
|||
|
|
make 8.5 fully PHP 7.2 compatible.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I’m already looking forward to see what’s coming in 8.6 later this year!
