Commerce Core 3.1.0 is now available with 21 resolved issues, including improvements to the checkout completion page and a fix for a longstanding normalization bug that affected JSON:API integrations.
We've updated the checkout completion page to provide customers with more detailed order information. Previously, the page displayed only a configurable message with the order number and a link to view the order.
The completion page now displays checkout pane summaries (the same information visible on the review page) and enables the sidebar by default, which shows the order summary including line items and pricing details. This provides customers with immediate confirmation of their order contents, eliminating the need for additional navigation.
We've resolved a long-standing issue where order adjustments couldn't be normalized and serialized. This issue affected developers building headless commerce implementations or working with API integrations. Orders can now be successfully retrieved through JSON:API endpoints without triggering serialization errors.
Read moreWhen the Internet entered our lives, it brought with it a priceless gift: the ability to send text instantly to every corner of the globe. That moment marked the dawn of online communication. But something was missing — intonation, subtext, facial expressions, and all the subtle cues that give words their full meaning. As a result, it was — and often still is — hard to tell exactly how a message was meant to be understood.
One of the most unique and rewarding aspects of DrupalCon Vienna 2025 isn't just the sessions, keynotes, or networking opportunities. It's the contribution of sprints. These collaborative events are where real innovation happens: where ideas become modules, bugs get fixed, documentation is improved, and the Drupal project moves forward one line of code, one test case, one translation at a time.
Whether you're a seasoned developer, a site builder, a designer, or brand new to Drupal, you can contribute. Contribution sprints are open, inclusive, and designed to empower everyone to make an impact.
Contribution sprints are focused, collaborative working sessions where attendees contribute directly to Drupal core, contributed modules, themes, documentation, and initiative roadmaps. It’s where Drupal grows not just through planning, but through action.
Sprints at DrupalCon Vienna include:
Whether you're fixing bugs, reviewing patches, translating interface strings, or updating documentation, sprints are the most hands-on way to give back to the project.
One of the biggest myths in open source is that you must be a developer to contribute. At DrupalCon Vienna 2025, we welcome non-coders too!
You can contribute by:
Whatever your skill set, there’s a space for you in the contribution room and mentors ready to guide you.
Contribution sprints are more than just collaborative work and they’re a chance to connect with the community, learn from the best, and leave your mark on the Drupal ecosystem. Here’s why it matters:
Whether it’s your first contribution or your hundredth, you’ll leave the sprint with more knowledge, more connections, and the satisfaction of giving back.
DrupalCon Vienna will feature sprints throughout the event, with a dedicated Sprint Day . To get started:
Everything from Git commands to issue queues will be explained and you’ll have experienced contributors by your side the whole time.
Drupal is built by thousands of people from around the world. By joining the sprints at DrupalCon Vienna 2025, you become part of that legacy. You’ll contribute not just to code, but to a platform that powers education, government, nonprofits, commerce, and digital experiences globally.
This is your chance to step beyond the audience and step into the community. Whether you’re contributing a patch, reporting a bug, or simply helping someone get started, you’re shaping Drupal’s future.
So bring your laptop. Bring your curiosity. Bring your voice.
Join the DrupalCon Vienna contribution sprints and make a difference.

As someone who frequently builds POCs and demos with Drupal, I’ve spent plenty of time spinning up local environments. A while back, I switched to DDEV as my go-to local dev tool after hearing great things—and it quickly became a core part of my workflow. It's fast, reliable, and makes managing Drupal projects a whole lot easier.
In this post, I’ll walk you through how I set up a fresh local Drupal site using DDEV. Whether you're new to DDEV or just looking to streamline your Drupal dev setup, these steps will get you up and running in no time.
Facing a Drupal 7 to Drupal 10/11 migration and not sure where to start? You’re not alone. Data migrations are often the most time-consuming and costly part of any platform upgrade. And let’s be honest: the goal is to do it right the first time, without a ton of rework. Good news? You don’t have to start from scratch. Others with years of migration experience have created tools and figured out best practices that you can leverage. Even better news? We’re excited to announce that Tag1’s comprehensive 31-part migration blog series, written by Mauricio Dinarte, is now available as a free downloadable e-book. tag1.com/migrate-book The e-book kicks off with the critical planning phase — arguably the most important step of any project. From a thorough source site audit to laying out a clear project roadmap, you’ll be set up for a smoother migration. As Mauricio puts it: “There is a saying that goes: measure twice, code once. That’s what the planning section helps you do.” From there, the guide walks you through everything you need for a successful migration: * A complete local environment with pre-configured sites * Practice data to work with * Step-by-step instructions * Tools and guidance...

The current AI marketplace is crowded with startups and established technology providers, each vying for attention offering a bewildering array of features.
For business leaders, the real challenge lies not in the availability of options, but in choosing a solution that genuinely supports strategic goals and day-to-day operational needs.
It is all too easy to be influenced by hype or surface-level features, rather than focusing on long-term value and alignment with business priorities.
In this webinar, we explore:

Drupal AI 1.2.0-alpha1 was just released and it comes as a feature preview of what is coming with the AI 1.2.0 release.
Note that since this is an alpha, we will not provide upgrade paths from this alpha and more features will still be added before the beta releases.
Article by Marcus Johansson.
The new Field Widget Actions module makes it possible to add interactive buttons on any entity form, to make it easy for editors to interact and fill out fields with AI from anywhere. With a push of a button you can have suggestions or picks - if you are not happy, you can push and ask again. This ensures that we can use AI to help the editor, but the editor has the final decision.
This works together with the AI Content Suggestions, AI Automators and AI Agents module, to have anything from simple preset configurations to custom logic business or even agents taking autonomous decisions on how to help fill out a field.
Possible solutions that come out of the box, but are not limited too, are picking categories, creating tags, helping with writing summaries, coming up with titles, extracting e-mails from sources.
In conjunction with the AI Automators, there are at least 100+ different use cases for these buttons. With agents, you can have the agent go out and research things on the Internet for you, to give you suggestions on improved Meta tags for instance.
And for advanced site builders, you can invoke this via ECA, which already has an integration. That together with the option to create your own processor makes the possibilities endless for this.
With the release of 1.2.0, we make it possible to ship prompts as configurations. This will also make it easier for third party modules to give suggested prompts to use for their products.
Since context engineering is an important part of a well working AI ecosystem, and since these can be hard to understand, we now have the possibility to ship them together with any module.
Gone will be the times when you would have to guess or ask a maintainer for best practice prompts, we make them possible to ship.
This also means that you can make your own business stand out, by using well-crafted prompts, that you can share over projects via recipes.
For the longest time the content suggestions were only allowed on Nodes, we have now also added the possibility to add them to Block and Taxonomy Terms entities.
One of the big issues with developing AI, is that you spend a lot of time waiting for AI providers to process the result. It can also be expensive, if you need to run your query over and over.
Another issue is when you write automated testing, that you need to replicate how an AI provider responds, without necessarily needing to send requests to an AI provider for similar reasons.
We have now added the possibility to mock any request done to a real provider and replay it while developing or while testing.
The LLM models are evolving, and the vision models are not the only files that can be ingested anymore. There are models that can read PDF files or even look at videos. We have changed the foundation of the AI core module to make it possible for providers to feed them with any type of files.
The AI Automators make it possible to set up AI in a simple manner, how a field should be automatically filled using AI. With the addition of the Field Widget Actions, these will also be available with a user interface for the editors. It already has 60+ features, the following is added as of 1.2.0-alpha1:
All vector databases have some base functionality that all of them share. This means that from a feature point of view it doesn’t really matter if you use Milvus, Postgres or Pinecone.
However in recipes you would need to specify exactly that, meaning that a recipe that adds a “chat-with-your-documents” feature, would only work with one service.
We had already abstracted this away for AI Providers, and with 1.2.0-alpha1 it will be possible to ship a whole AI and vector database solution that doesn’t care about what AI providers or vector databases you have, it just works.
With the speed of how fast AI is moving and the AI module in its turn is moving, versioned documentation is something that is needed to make sure that you can locate the latest documentation for the version you are working with.
Our documentation is now not only versioned, but does actually version based on the major or minor version you push changes to the documentation for.
If you are a provider contributor or are developing a provider in-house for private reasons and that provider is based on the OpenAI standard that many providers support - Mistral, Anthropic, Ollama and more - we now have an abstracted base class that you can use, making it a lot easier to get started with a contributed or custom provider.
This will also make it easier for us to do incremental updates and improvements on these providers, without the person developing providers needing to change their provider.
