- Brief description:
- Have you been wanting a version of Drupal that can use Workspaces, Recipes, and Single Directory Components, while running all the latest versions of its underlying technologies? Drupal 11 is all of that and more
- Module name/project name:
- Brief history
- How old: created on Aug 2 by catch of Tag1 and Third & Grove
- Module features and usage
- Limited additions vs 10.3: by design to make the transition easier
- Mostly in the recipes API, e.g. new config actions
- Recap of new features vs. 10.0
- Workspaces
- Revisions and workflow are possible in the UI for Blocks and Taxonomy Terms
- UI updates for creating and reusing fields, as well as bulk content operations
- New Access Policy API and Single Directory Components
- New Navigation and Announcements Feed modules
- Contrib support out of the gate: about ⅔ of the top 200 modules already support Drupal 11
- Adding modules that Rector estimates will only need info.yml or automated fixes brings us to over 80% of the top 200, or about 75% of all Drupal 10-compatible projects on Drupal.org
- Updated dependencies: PHP 8.3, Symfony 7, CKEditor 5 42.0,2, Twig 3.9, Yarn 4, jQuery 4.0.0-beta, jQuery UI 1.14-beta.2 and more
- Modules moved to contrib (smaller core):
- Actions UI
- Activity Tracker
- Book
- Forum
- Statistics
- Tour
- Drupal 10 will receive maintenance support until mid-2026, so the community created this release of Drupal 11 early to give sites as much time as possible to make the transition, in this case almost 2 years!
