Drupal Core News: Drupal 11 will be released either on the week of July 29 or week of December 9, 2024

In November 2023, we announced three possible release windows for Drupal 11 based on when beta requirements will be completed. We opened the development branch two weeks ago.

Major version updates of dependencies in Drupal 11 include Symfony 7, jQuery 4 and PHPUnit 10 or 11. Based on our findings with the PHPUnit 10 update particularly, we already see that the first release window in June will not be possible for Drupal 11.

The two remaining potential release windows for Drupal 11 are as follows:

  • If Drupal 11 beta requirements are done by April 26, 2024: Drupal 11.0.0-beta1 on the week of April 29, 2024. RC1 on the week of July 1, 2024 and stable release on the week of July 29, 2024.
  • If Drupal 11 beta requirements are done later by September 13, 2024: Drupal 11.0.0-beta1 will be on the week of September 16, 2024. RC1 on the week of November 11, 2024 and stable release on the week of December 9, 2024. In this case the same versions of Drupal 10.4 are planned for the same release windows.

Help with getting Drupal 11 ready

Most help is needed around the update to PHPUnit 10, while the Symfony 7 update and jQuery 4 update issues also have more work to do. Join the #d11readiness channel on Drupal Slack to discuss issues live with contributors.

Get involved in person

In the earlier scenario, Drupal 11 will be in beta the week before DrupalCon Portland 2024, while in the later scenario it will be in beta the week before DrupalCon Barcelona 2024. We'll be working on outstanding core issues at the time and updating contributed projects as well at those events.

Drupal 10.3 will be released on the week of June 17, 2024

While the release dates of its alpha and beta version may be different based on the scenario, Drupal 10.3.0 is planned to have a release candidate on the week of June 3, 2024 and a release on the week of June 17, 2024, independent of when Drupal 11 is released.

Golems GABB: Using Drupal for Multilingual Websites: Configuration and Best Practices

Using Drupal for Multilingual Websites: Configuration and Best Practices Editor Thu, 03/07/2024 - 15:57

In today's globalized digital space, multilingualism plays a huge role. Information resources are often popular among representatives of different nations and language groups. These people may have different beliefs and be followers of other religions, but they all have access to information on the Internet. Modern developers must always take the issue of universal access responsibly. The more versatile their site is, the more people they can reach the math, numbers, and facts. For example, 55% of pages on the Internet are in English, but only 19% of users are English-speaking.
