This is the fourth release candidate for Drupal 8.0.0. Release candidates are not supported for production sites, but they are intended for widespread testing in preparation for the upcoming stable release. Release candidates also provide an opportunity to begin developing with Drupal 8, especially for:

• New sites.
• Sites that rely mainly on the expanded functionality provided by Drupal 8 core alone.
• Projects that will take weeks or months of development time.
• Sites for which Drupal 8's benefits outweigh the effort needed to port (or work around) contributed modules that do not yet have Drupal 8 versions.

Read more about Drupal 8 release candidates.

When will Drupal 8.0.0 be released?

Drupal 8.0.0 will be released on November 19th 2015.

Known issues

There is currently one known critical issue with this release candidate. We expect to identify and resolve additional critical issues as the release candidate is tested more widely.

Known issues

There are no known critical issues with this release. Search the issue queue for all known issues.

The following issues may affect people running Drupal 8.0.0 on specific hosting environments:

• Installs on php-fpm environments may see fatal errors on enabling modules, due to #2572293: Do not rebuild router in kernel.terminate.
• While PHP 7 does not yet have a stable release, Drupal 8.0.x is now tested on every commit with PHP 5.5, 5.6 and 7 with a 100% pass rate, so should support PHP 7’s first stable release once it is available.
• There is not yet per-commit testing for MySQL 5.7.9 or MariaDB 10.1.8 (both released October 2015), but a minor incompatibility issue was fixed since RC4, and there are no known issues with them otherwise. We intend to add per-commit testing on one of these databases soon.
• Particular Apache configurations may have issues with serving public file assets. Issue: #2619250: Remove symlinks option from .htaccess

Changes since 8.0.0-rc4

A small number of minor backward-compatibility breaks have been introduced since RC4 to resolve two major bugs before release:

• Views no longer uses fields on base tables when they also exists on the data table to resolve a promient bug in the Views UI. This update requires module-provided default views to be re-exported.
• A new ContentEntityStorageInterface and hook_entity_field_values_init() and hook_entity_translation_create() have been added to replace cases where hook_entity_create() was used for cases other than creating new entities. hook_entity_create() is no longer called in those cases. This prevents unintended data issues from being introduced by modules written on monolingual sites.

As of 8.0.0, we will be following semantic versioning for future releases. Patch releases should not contain any API additions or deprecations. Minor versions may add new deprecations with backwards compatibility layers or change code marked @internal. See draft documentation for the Drupal 8 backwards compatibility policy and
the policy on Allowed changed during the Drupal 8 release.

Known issues

One outstanding critical issue was discovered after the 8.0.0 release but has not been fixed yet. It results in loss of custom configuration translations on multilingual sites under particular circumstances. A fix for this issue will be targeted for a future patch release:

• LocaleConfigManager::updateConfigTranslations() deletes translations if a config object's name happens to match that of a shipped configuration object

The following critical issues were discovered after 8.0.0 but have already been fixed in 8.0.1, as well as dozens of major and minor issues listed below:

• LocaleConfigManager::getTranslatableDefaultConfig() reads config from uninstalled modules
• Configuration of configurable language types reset after module install
• SQL::addWhere not defaulting to "IN" operator when using EntityReferenceView for multiple values
• LocalePluralFormatTest::testPluralEditDateFormatter() is failing randomly

The following issues may affect people running Drupal 8.0.1 on specific hosting environments:

• Installs on php-fpm environments may see fatal errors on enabling modules, due to #2572293: Do not rebuild router in kernel.terminate.
• While PHP 7 does not yet have a stable release, Drupal 8.0.x is now tested on every commit with PHP 5.5, 5.6 and 7 with a 100% pass rate, so should support PHP 7’s first stable release once it is available (expected tomorrow December 3rd).
• There is not yet per-commit testing for MySQL 5.7.9 or MariaDB 10.1.8 (both released October 2015), but a minor incompatibility issue was fixed since RC4, and there are no known issues with them otherwise. We intend to add per-commit testing on one of these databases soon.
• Particular Apache configurations may have issues with serving public file assets. Issue: #2619250: Disabling -MultiViews in .htaccess can cause 500 errors
  
• Drupal needs comments in opcache

This is a patch release of Drupal 8 and is ready for use on production sites. See the CHANGELOG.txt for an extensive summary of changes and improvements since Drupal 7! Learn more about Drupal 8.

This release only contains bug fixes, along with documentation and testing improvements. Translators should take note of a handful of minor string changes since 8.0.1.

The following critical issues were discovered after 8.0.0 and are resolved in 8.0.2 (in addition to the dozens of major and minor issues listed further below):

• #2625258: LocaleConfigManager::updateConfigTranslations() deletes translations if a config object's name happens to match that of a shipped configuration object. Note that no upgrade path is included for this fix (see known issues below).
• #2620176: Logo image settings form is broken, breaks per-theme overrides and can result in data loss

Known issues

Several outstanding critical issues have been discovered after the 8.0.1 release but have not been fixed yet. Fixes for these issues will be targeted for a future patch release:

• #2628004: Create an upgrade path to determine if default_config_hash should be added (2625258). This affects all sites created before 8.0.2 that have locale or an additional language installed (or that will install them in the future). Until this issue is fixed, sites will need to use the core Configuration Translation module to create their own translations for default configuration of currently installed modules, rather than automatically downloading them from localize.drupal.org.
• #2616164: /update.php/run URL is generated with language prefix and returns 404 error
• #2639352: File records, files themselves lost in translation
• #2635728: Uninstalling a module providing display extenders causes fatal errors

The following issues may affect people running Drupal 8.0.2 on specific hosting environments:

• Installs on php-fpm environments may see fatal errors on enabling modules, due to #2572293: Do not rebuild router in kernel.terminate.
• There is not yet per-commit testing for MySQL 5.7.9 or MariaDB 10.1.8 (both released October 2015), but there are no known issues with them. We intend to add per-commit testing on one of these databases soon.
• Particular Apache configurations may have issues with serving public file assets. Issue: #2619250: Disabling -MultiViews in .htaccess can cause 500 errors

Maintenance release of the Drupal 7 series. Includes bug fixes and small API/feature improvements only (no major, non-backwards-compatible new functionality).

No security fixes are included in this release.

No changes have been made to the robots.txt or default settings.php files in this release, so upgrading custom versions of those files is not necessary.

There is one change to the .htaccess and web.config files in this release:

• A change to block Composer-related files (in particular, composer.json and composer.lock) from being viewed by website visitors (see #2392153).

Upgrading custom versions of .htaccess and web.config to incorporate this change is recommended (especially if your site's codebase is built using Composer), but not required.

Known issues:

None.

Major changes since 7.41:

• #1191290: Stopped invoking hook_flush_caches() on every cron run, since some modules use that hook for expensive operations that are only needed on cache clears.
• #2392153: Changed the default .htaccess and web.config to block Composer-related files.
• #1443308: Added static caching to module_load_include() to improve performance.
• #1919338: Fixed double-encoding bugs in select field widgets provided by the Options module. The fix deprecates the 'strip_tags' property on option widgets and replaces it with a new 'strip_tags_and_unescape' property (minor data structure change).
• #2545480: Improved MySQL 5.7 support by changing the MySQL database driver to stop using the ANSI SQL mode alias, which has different meanings for different MySQL versions.
• #2599326: Fixed a regression introduced in Drupal 7.39 which prevented autocomplete functionality from working on servers that are not configured to automatically recognize index.php.
• #1414508: Updated the Archive_Tar PEAR package to the latest 1.4.0 release, to fix bugs with tar file handling on various operating systems.
• #1289336: Fixed fatal errors on node preview when a field is displayed in the node teaser but hidden in the full node view. The fix removes a field_attach_prepare_view() call from the node_preview() function since it is redundant with one in the node preview theme layer.
• #1862250: Improved the description of the "Trimmed" format option on text fields (translatable string change, and minor UI and data structure change).

All changes since 7.41:

• #2645544 by Liam Morland: Improve documentation for module_disable() and related functions
• #2622012 by walangitan, snehi, Shreya Shetty, rashid_786, joachim, jhodgdon: Fix documentation errors in language_default()

Maintenance and security release of the Drupal 6 series.

This release fixes security vulnerabilities. Sites are urged to upgrade immediately after reading the notes below and the security announcement:

• Drupal Core - Critical - Multiple Vulnerabilities - SA-CORE-2016-001

This is the last community-supported release of Drupal 6, which has now reached its end of life.

Because this is the last release, it also includes some small documentation improvements (that were previously on the development branch) in addition to the security fixes. No other fixes are included.

Besides documentation fixes, no changes have been made to the .htaccess, robots.txt or default settings.php files in this release, so upgrading custom versions of those files is not necessary.

Known issues:

None.

Major changes since 6.37:

• The form API has changed such that form buttons which have the #access property set to FALSE in the form definition array can no longer be submitted. This should not affect most uses cases (since under normal operation a button with #access set to FALSE would not have been displayed to users anyway) but could affect some unusual forms. If you need to hide a button in the HTML output but still want to allow it to be submitted (e.g. by client-side code), you can either (a) hide the button using CSS or JavaScript, or (b) set #access to FALSE in an #after_build callback rather than in the form definition (see this change in the FileField module for example code).
• The drupal_goto() function will no longer attempt to decode URLs passed to it via the "destination" query parameter in the URL. This could affect destination query parameters that were encoded using drupal_urlencode() before placing them on the page, but this should not be common since the drupal_urlencode() documentation already warned that using it in this manner could lead to unwanted double encoding.
• The "system.multicall" method in Drupal's XML-RPC server has changed such that, by default, it only supports one call for each distinct RPC method (in other words, within a single XML-RPC request you may call four different methods but you can no longer call the same method four times). No changes have been made to Drupal's XML-RPC client code that is used for making XML-RPC requests from your site to other XML-RPC servers; this only affects calls from other servers to your Drupal site. This was not a commonly used feature, but if you have a use case that requires multiple calls to the same XML-RPC method in a single request, a new "xmlrpc_multicall_duplicate_method_limit" variable has been provided that allows you to do so. For example, in settings.php:

  <?php
    // Allow the same method to be called up to 10 times in a single
    // "system.multicall" request.
    $conf['xmlrpc_multicall_duplicate_method_limit'] = 10;
  ?>

  Or:

  <?php
    // Setting the variable to 0 or lower will remove the limit and restore the
    // prior behavior, although this also weakens protection against brute-force
    // attacks.
    $conf['xmlrpc_multicall_duplicate_method_limit'] = 0;
  ?>

Maintenance and security release of the Drupal 8 series.

This release fixes security vulnerabilities. Sites are urged to upgrade immediately after reading the notes below and the security announcements:

• Drupal Core - Critical - Multiple Vulnerabilities - SA-CORE-2016-001

No other fixes are included.

No changes have been made to the .htaccess, web.config, robots.txt or default settings.php files in this release, so upgrading custom versions of those files is not necessary.

Known issues

See the list of the known issues for the 8.0.x branch. There are no known regressions in this release.

Maintenance and security release of the Drupal 7 series.

This release fixes security vulnerabilities. Sites are urged to upgrade immediately after reading the notes below and the security announcement:

• Drupal Core - Critical - Multiple Vulnerabilities - SA-CORE-2016-001

No other fixes are included.

No changes have been made to the .htaccess, web.config, robots.txt or default settings.php files in this release, so upgrading custom versions of those files is not necessary.

Known issues:

• This release caused a few regressions with anonymous file uploads:
  • A regression in Drupal core that can occur under rare circumstances. See #2678822: Drupal 7.43 / 8.0.4 regression: When an anonymous user submits a form with an un-uploaded file that leads to a validation error, the file is lost on the next correct submission for more details and a possible patch.
  • A regression in the Webform module that can cause files uploaded to a webform by an anonymous user to fail to be submitted. See #2675170: Drupal 7.43 makes file upload component fail for anonymous user for more details and a possible patch. The Drupal core patch mentioned above may also fix this issue.
  • A regression in the File Resumable Upload module that prevents file uploads by anonymous users from working on fields which use that module's upload widget (see the issue). Solution: Update to the 7.x-1.4 release, which contains a fix for this problem.

  See the "Major changes" section below for more general details on changes to anonymous file uploads.

• This release causes errors on server environments where the PHP PCRE extension was compiled without unicode support. This is unusual but may be more common with older versions of PCRE. See #2676504: Upgrade to version 7.43 causes warning message about "support for \P, \p, and \X has not been compiled" for more details and a possible patch.
• If code calls drupal_goto() very early in the Drupal bootstrap this may lead to a fatal error after updating to Drupal 7.43. (This situation should be rare in practice.) The fix is to change your code to ensure that the includes/path.inc file is loaded, or see #2676598: Drupal 7.43 dies with a fatal error if drupal_goto() is called very early in the bootstrap for a possible core patch.

Major changes since 7.42:

• The File module has changed to prevent users from reusing other users' temporary uploaded files in other content, and anonymous users can no longer reuse temporary uploaded files at all. (This was not a supported use case since temporary files are those that the original user uploaded to the server but has not yet chosen to save.) This could have a minor effect on media management modules if the module provides listings of temporary files with the intention that they can be reused.

  In addition (see the "Known issues" section above) this change has caused some problems with modules that allow anonymous users to upload files. A common theme is that modules which create or alter managed file form widgets may need to adjust their code to ensure that the #default_value property on the widget is set correctly (to reflect the current file that has been uploaded and that is being displayed in the form). This is generally good practice but was not previously strictly enforced; now, in the case of anonymous users, the File module in Drupal core sometimes relies on #default_value to know which file actually belongs there after an Ajax request.

• The "system.multicall" method in Drupal's XML-RPC server has changed such that, by default, it only supports one call for each distinct RPC method (in other words, within a single XML-RPC request you may call four different methods but you can no longer call the same method four times). No changes have been made to Drupal's XML-RPC client code that is used for making XML-RPC requests from your site to other XML-RPC servers; this only affects calls from other servers to your Drupal site. This was not a commonly used feature, but if you have a use case that requires multiple calls to the same XML-RPC method in a single request, a new "xmlrpc_multicall_duplicate_method_limit" variable has been provided that allows you to do so. For example, in settings.php:
    // Allow the same method to be called up to 10 times in a single
  // "system.multicall" request.
  $conf['xmlrpc_multicall_duplicate_method_limit'] = 10;

  Or:

    // Setting the variable to 0 or lower will remove the limit and restore the
  // prior behavior, although this also weakens protection against brute-force
  // attacks.
  $conf['xmlrpc_multicall_duplicate_method_limit'] = 0;

This is a patch release of Drupal 8 and is ready for use on production sites. See the CHANGELOG.txt for an extensive summary of changes and improvements since Drupal 7! Learn more about Drupal 8.

This release only contains bug fixes, along with documentation and testing improvements. A beta release for the next feature release of Drupal, 8.1.0-beta1, is also available for testing. We expect to release the first release candidate for 8.1.0 on April 6th, and the stable 8.1.0 release on April 20th.

The following important issues are resolved in 8.0.5 (in addition to the dozens of other fixes listed at the end of this post):

• #2496867: Translatable image file is not working unless you also config the image field. Config can get lost anyway.
• #2602268: Translated string are loaded into Views UI and then saved as default language strings.
• #2616164: /update.php/run URL is generated with language prefix and returns 404 error
• #2642374: Dependency removal logic incorrectly affects indirect dependents
• #2665410: Book module breadcrumb remains cached when node title (or access) changes
• #2671916: node_access_rebuild() will never work after since entityQuery has now accessCheck default set to true and the grants are deleted beforehand
• #2649352: views_embed_view() should use a render array so metadata can bubble up

Known issues

There are no known regressions in this release.

The following issues may affect people running Drupal 8.0.5 on specific hosting environments:

• Installs on php-fpm environments may see fatal errors on enabling modules, due to #2572293: Do not rebuild router in kernel.terminate.
• There is not yet per-commit testing for MySQL 5.7.9 or MariaDB 10.1.8 (both released October 2015), but there are no known issues with them. We intend to add per-commit testing on one of these databases soon.
• Particular Apache configurations may have issues with serving public file assets. Issue: #2619250: Disabling -MultiViews in .htaccess can cause 500 errors

This is a beta release for the next feature release of Drupal 8. Betas are good testing targets for developers and site builders who are comfortable reporting (and where possible, fixing) their own bugs. Beta releases are not recommended for non-technical users, nor for production websites. More information on beta releases.

We expect to release a release candidate for 8.1.0 on April 6th, and 8.1.0 stable on April 20th.

This beta release provides new improvements and functionality without breaking backward compatibility (BC) for public APIs. Note that there may be changes in internal APIs and experimental modules that require updates to contributed and custom modules and themes per Drupal core's backwards compatibility and experimental module policies.

Translators should take note of the string changes since the last minor release. Developers can review the change records for this release.

The following important issues are also resolved in 8.1.0 (in addition to over 150 changes listed at the end of this post):

Third party library updates

• #2614682: Update JS lib: Modernizr to 3.3.1
• #2611816: Update to Symfony 2.8

New stable features and API improvements

The following new stable features and API improvements have been added to Drupal 8.1.0-beta1:

• Language of parts: Introduce a language toolbar button
  
• Enable browsers' (native) spell checker in CKEditor
  
• Rendered entity views field handler
  
• Allow image toolkit derivatives
  
• Stop excluding local ID and revision fields from HAL output
  
• Add back the ability for install profiles (or at least distros) to pre-select a language or modify the language-selection screen
  

Experimental modules

The following modules are considered experimental for this release. Experimental modules are provided with Drupal core for testing purposes, but are not yet fully supported.

Migrate, Migrate Drupal, and Migrate Upgrade UI (alpha stability)

This release now provides an alpha-stability user interface for Drupal core migrations! Use these modules to migrate Drupal 6 or 7 sites onto Drupal 8. See the user guide on upgrading from Drupal 6 or 7 to Drupal 8 for more information.

Always back up your data before performing a migration, and be sure to take note of these outstanding issues:

• The Drupal 6 to Drupal 8 migration should be considered alpha stability, but may be suitable for upgrading many existing Drupal 6 sites with careful testing.
• The Drupal 7 to Drupal 8 migration is incomplete, but is suitable for developers who would like to help improve the migration, and can be used to test upgrades especially for simple Drupal 7 sites.
• There are planned improvements to the migration API which may be committed during the beta release to improve long-term stability. This may affect developers of custom migrations.
• Issues tagged Migrate critical are blockers for these modules being considered stable.

Drush support is still only available in the Drupal Upgrade contributed module, but the core UI now replaces the contributed module UI, and using the contributed module together with 8.1.x core may have unexpected results until it is updated.

BigPipe (alpha stability)

Provides an advanced implementation of Facebook's BigPipe page rendering strategy, leading to greatly improved perceived performance for pages with dynamic, personalized, or uncacheable content. See the BigPipe handbook page.

If you previously installed the BigPipe contributed module, you must uninstall and remove it before upgrading from Drupal 8.0.x to 8.1.x.

Inline Form Errors (alpha stability)

This provides a proof-of-concept for showing form errors inline. It has not changed significantly from 8.0.0. Be aware that this module has outstanding issues, some of which are significant.

Known issues

There are no known regressions in this release.

The following issues may affect people running Drupal 8.1.0 on specific hosting environments:

• Installs on php-fpm environments may see fatal errors on enabling modules, due to #2572293: Do not rebuild router in kernel.terminate.
• There is not yet per-commit testing for MySQL 5.7.9 or MariaDB 10.1.8 (both released October 2015), but there are no known issues with them. We intend to add per-commit testing on one of these databases in the future.
• Particular Apache configurations may have issues with serving public file assets. Issue: #2619250: Disabling -MultiViews in .htaccess can cause 500 errors

All changes since the last minor release

A full list of issues fixed in 8.1.x but not released in 8.0.x can be found in the issue tracker.

Development tarball for the 8.2.x release.

While commits will be made to the 8.2.x branch from now on, most people interested in testing the development version of Drupal core should continue to work with the 8.1.x branch until the 8.1.0 release on April 20th 2016.

This is a beta release for the next feature release of Drupal 8. Betas are good testing targets for developers and site builders who are comfortable reporting (and where possible, fixing) their own bugs. Beta releases are not recommended for non-technical users, nor for production websites. More information on beta releases.

This beta release provides new improvements and functionality without breaking backward compatibility (BC) for public APIs. Note that there may be changes in internal APIs and experimental modules that require updates to contributed and custom modules and themes per Drupal core's backwards compatibility and experimental module policies. Note that both policies have been updated for the 8.1.x release.

Translators should take note of a handful of minor string changes in this minor release.

The following important issues are resolved in 8.1.0-beta2 (in addition to the dozens of other fixes listed at the end of this post):

Bug fixes for recent regressions from 8.0.x

• #2678574: Symfony 2.8 requirements change: required PHP iconv extension is nowhere documented
• #2674780: Unexpected API change in UrlGenerator::generate()

Changed requirements

• #1475510: Remove external dependencies from the core repo and let Composer manage the dependencies instead: Sites installed from a git clone must now use composer install to get the needed dependencies. See External dependencies removed from the core repo and managed by Composer instead for more information.

Migrate

• #2625696: Make migrations themselves plugins instead of config entities
• #2683421: Remove incremental and rollback options from the UI (and add them back when they are more stable): The alpha-stability Drupal Upgrade UI module does not include options for incremental or rollback migrations. Support for incremental migrations through the UI will be re-added but we need help with testing this key feature and fixing bugs with it. (Rollback support may not be added until a later release.) Both incremental migration and rollbacks should still be possible using Drush.

Added features

These features have been added in addition to the features added in 8.1.0-beta1.

• #2661200: Make admin/help page more flexible, and list tours on it

API additions

• #2666792: Provide a route provider for add-page of entities
• #2666808: Add a revision log interface

Known issues

There is one remaining known regression from the 8.0.x series in 8.1.0-beta2:

• #2678674: Access bypass to unpublished custom error pages.

The following issues may affect people running Drupal 8.1.0-beta2 on specific hosting environments:

• Installs on php-fpm environments may see fatal errors on enabling modules, due to #2572293: Do not rebuild router in kernel.terminate.
• There is not yet per-commit testing for MySQL 5.7.9 or MariaDB 10.1.8 (both released October 2015), but there are no known issues with them. We intend to add per-commit testing on one of these databases in the future.
• Particular Apache configurations may have issues with serving public file assets. Issue: #2619250: Disabling -MultiViews in .htaccess can cause 500 errors

This is a patch release of Drupal 8 and is ready for use on production sites. See the CHANGELOG.txt for an extensive summary of changes and improvements since Drupal 7! Learn more about Drupal 8.

This is also the final scheduled patch release of the 8.0.x series. The next stable release planned for Drupal 8 will be the Drupal 8.1.0 minor release, which is scheduled for April 20, 2016. Sites should plan to update to 8.1.0 once it is released in order to continue receiving bug and security fixes. A release candidate will be available for testing soon.

This release only contains bug fixes, along with documentation and testing improvements. Translators should take note of a handful of minor string changes since the last patch release.

The following important issues are resolved in 8.0.6 (in addition to the dozens of other fixes listed at the end of this post):

• #2448843: [regression] Themes unable to implement hook_element_info_alter()

Known issues

There are no known regressions in this release.

The following issues may affect people running Drupal 8.0.6 on specific hosting environments:

• Installs on php-fpm environments may see fatal errors on enabling modules, due to #2572293: Do not rebuild router in kernel.terminate.
• There is not yet per-commit testing for MySQL 5.7.9 or MariaDB 10.1.8 (both released October 2015), but there are no known issues with them. We intend to add per-commit testing on one of these databases in the future.
• Particular Apache configurations may have issues with serving public file assets. Issue: #2619250: Disabling -MultiViews in .htaccess can cause 500 errors

This is a release candidate for the next feature release of Drupal 8. Release candidates are not supported for production sites, but they are intended for widespread testing in preparation for the upcoming stable release. More information on release candidates.

This minor release provides new improvements and functionality without breaking backward compatibility (BC) for public APIs. Note that there may be changes in internal APIs and experimental modules that require updates to contributed and custom modules and themes per Drupal core's backwards compatibility and experimental module policies. Note that both policies have been updated for the 8.1.x release.

Translators should take note of the string changes since the last minor release. Developers can review the change records for this release.

Known issues

There are no known regressions in this release.

The following issues may affect people running Drupal 8.1.0-rc1 on specific hosting environments:

• Installs on php-fpm environments may see fatal errors on enabling modules, due to #2572293: Do not rebuild router in kernel.terminate.
• There is not yet per-commit testing for MySQL 5.7.9 or MariaDB 10.1.8 (both released October 2015), but there are no known issues with them. We intend to add per-commit testing on one of these databases in the future.
• Particular Apache configurations may have issues with serving public file assets. Issue: #2619250: Disabling -MultiViews in .htaccess can cause 500 errors

This is a minor version (feature release) of Drupal 8 and is ready for use on production sites. See the CHANGELOG.txt for a summary of changes and improvements since the last minor release. Learn more about Drupal 8 and the Drupal 8 release cycle.

This minor release provides new improvements and functionality without breaking backward compatibility (BC) for public APIs. Note that there may be changes in internal APIs and experimental modules that require updates to contributed and custom modules and themes per Drupal core's backwards compatibility and experimental module policies. Note that both policies have been updated for the 8.1.x release.

Note that 8.1.0 is the first stable release to use Composer for packaging its third-party dependencies. If your site is installed from a Drupal git repository, you must now run composer install to create the third-party vendor directory. There is no change for sites installed from packaged releases (from Drupal.org tar or zip archives, normal Drush installation, etc.). See the change record on the Composer change for more detail.

New stable features

The following new stable features have been added to Drupal 8.1.0:

• The admin/help page is now more flexible so that modules and themes can and new sections, and also now lists tours.
• CKEditor now includes a language toolbar button as well as support for browsers' (native) spell-checking.
• Installation profiles can again pre-select a language or modify the language-selection screen.
• Views now provides a rendered entity field handler similar to the one provided by the Entity contributed module in Drupal 7.

API and developer improvements

Drupal 8.1.0 includes numerous improvements for the entity system. Modules requiring Drupal 8.1.0 or later can take advantage of these backwards-compatible API improvements:

• Entity types can now specify translatable plural labels for entities.
• There is now a revision log interface to improve the developer experience for revisionable entities.
• ContentEntityBase now provides field definitions for key fields, which reduces the boilerplate code needed to create content entities.
• There are now route providers for the entity add-page and add-form routes. These additions will allow routes to be auto-generated for entities, reducing the code needed when defining a new entity type.

Other API and developer improvements in 8.1.0:

• Support for automated testing of JavaScript in core and on the DrupalCI testing infrastructure. Extend \Drupal\FunctionalJavascriptTests\JavascriptTestBase to create a JS test for your module.
• Composer support has been improved by removing external dependencies from the core repo and letting Composer manage them instead. As mentioned above, if your site is installed from a git repository, you must now run composer install on your site.
• Image toolkits can now be defined with plugin deriviatives, which means less repeated code is needed when extending them.
• HAL web service output now includes local ID and revision fields.
• Install profiles can preselect the language for more compact installation.
• Migrations are now migration plugins instead of configuration entities which makes migrations easier to define and more consistent with other APIs in core. (Note that this change is not backwards compatible, as Migrate is an experimental module, so custom and contributed modules based on migrate APIs may need to be updated for this change.)

See the Drupal core change records for additional information on API changes. Translators should take note of a handful of minor string changes since the last release.

Experimental modules

The following modules are considered experimental for this release. Experimental modules are provided with Drupal core for testing purposes, but are not yet fully supported.

Migrate, Migrate Drupal, and Migrate Drupal UI (alpha stability)

This release now provides an alpha-stability user interface for Drupal core migrations! Use these modules to migrate Drupal 6 or 7 sites onto Drupal 8. See the user guide on migrating from Drupal 6 or 7 to Drupal 8 for more information.
Always back up your data before performing a migration, and be sure to take note of the outstanding issues below:

• The Drupal 6 to Drupal 8 migration should be considered alpha stability, but may be suitable for upgrading many existing Drupal 6 sites with careful testing.
• The Drupal 7 to Drupal 8 migration is incomplete, but is suitable for developers who would like to help improve the migration, and can be used to test upgrades especially for simple Drupal 7 sites.
• Issues tagged Migrate critical are blockers for these modules being considered stable. In particular, the user interface does not yet support incremental migrations.

Drush support is still only available in the Migrate Upgrade contributed module, but the core UI now replaces the contributed module UI, and using the contributed module together with core may have unexpected results until it is updated.

Note that the module for the user interface has been renamed to "Migrate Drupal UI" since RC1. You will need to enable all three modules to perform a migration.

BigPipe (alpha stability)

Provides an advanced implementation of Facebook's BigPipe page rendering strategy, leading to greatly improved perceived performance for pages with dynamic, personalized, or uncacheable content. See the BigPipe handbook page.

If you previously installed the BigPipe contributed module, you must uninstall and remove it before upgrading from Drupal 8.0.x to 8.1.x.

Inline Form Errors (alpha stability)

This provides a proof-of-concept for showing form errors inline. It has not changed significantly from 8.0.0. Be aware that this module has outstanding issues, some of which are significant.

Third-party library updates

• #2611816: Update to symfony 2.8
• #2702677: Update to Symfony 2.8.4
• #2614682: Update JS lib: Modernizr to 3.3.1
• #2678574: Symfony 2.8 requirements change: required PHP iconv extension is nowhere documented
• #2698587: Update CKEditor library to 4.5.8

Changed coding standards

Drupal 8.1.0 has adopted the following coding standards changes:

• #2665992: @file is not required for classes, interfaces and traits
• #2337283: Add a composer.json file to every component

Important bug fixes

The following important issues are resolved in 8.1.0 (in addition to the dozens of other fixes listed at the end of this post):

• #2589967: Rebuild routes immediately when modules are installed
• #2688535: User deletion - unexpected nodes deletion in batch mode
• #2674780: Unexpected API change in UrlGenerator::generate()

Known issues

There are no known regressions in this release.

The following issues may affect people running Drupal 8.1.0 on specific hosting environments:

• There is not yet per-commit testing for MySQL 5.7.9 or MariaDB 10.1.8 (both released October 2015), but there are no known issues with them. We intend to add per-commit testing on one of these databases in the future.
• Particular Apache configurations may have issues with serving public file assets. Issue: #2619250: Disabling -MultiViews in .htaccess can cause 500 errors

Known issues

There are no known regressions in this release.

The following issues may affect people running Drupal 8.1.2 on specific hosting environments:

• Installs on php-fpm environments may see fatal errors on enabling modules, due to #2572293: Do not rebuild router in kernel.terminate.
• There is not yet per-commit testing for MySQL 5.7.9 or MariaDB 10.1.8 (both released October 2015), but there are no known issues with them. We intend to add per-commit testing on one of these databases in the future.
• Particular Apache configurations may have issues with serving public file assets. Issue: #2619250: Disabling -MultiViews in .htaccess can cause 500 errors
