Beginning with Drupal 10, a new Drupal major version will be released every two years in even years (2022, 2024, etc.). Each major version will receive active support for about two years, followed by maintenance support and security coverage for about two more years. Each is supported until two more major versions have been released.
This is an example. The exact schedule varies, and will be published on the Drupal core release schedule.
Drupal 11 will be released sometime in 2024. Like Drupal 9.0 and 10.0, Drupal 11.0 has three potential release windows, in June, August, and December. The window used will depend on when the beta requirements are complete. For more information, refer to the Drupal core release schedule.
Following the release of 10.2.0-beta1, changes to 11.x that diverge from Drupal 10 under the continuous upgrade path will begin. Anyone can get involved in completing the requirements for Drupal 11. Join the #d11readiness channel in the Drupal community Slack.
Following the release of Drupal 11.0.0 in 2024, a long-term support phase for Drupal 10 begins, and it will include a new maintenance minor every six months. Each maintenance minor will contain a limited set of changes backported from Drupal 11. For more information, refer to the Drupal core release process overview.
Maintenance minor releases for Drupal 10 will keep adding support for newer PHP versions as they are released. The minimum supported PHP version for Drupal core follows the PHP core team's support cycle. (Reference: What does it mean for a PHP version to be supported?)
Site owners wishing to take advantage of Drupal 10's long-term support phase should ensure their platforms always use PHP versions supported by the PHP maintainers.

Supercharging your workflows with artificial intelligence is one of the hottest trends of content editing on a Drupal website in 2023. Earlier this year, we published an article that explored the prospects of utilizing generative AI with CMSs like Drupal, along with an overview of some exciting Drupal modules for OpenAI/ChatGPT integration.
There are two main challenges developers face when setting up and managing their local environments:
While it may be fun experimenting with Linux and everything related to DevOps, sometimes you just don’t have the time. Sound familiar?
Don’t take my word for it. Check out this Twitter poll conducted by a former colleague:
The results could not be more clear. Developers want simplicity. Fair, right? You have enough stress and problems to solve as you work to meet tight deadlines.
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.
Join this community effort on the #admin-ui Drupal Slack channel on December 15th, 2023 and we’ll have work ready for you.
