Drupal 11

At a previous DrupalCon in Portland, Dries Buytaert, Drupal’s creator, outlined the vision for Drupal to become the go-to platform for ambitious site builders on the open web. Recently, Dries shared an updated roadmap for Drupal 11, which focuses on three key areas:

1. More intuitive content management tools
2. Enhanced site builder capabilities
3. Simplified upgrade and maintenance processes

With the release of Drupal 11, several core modules have been removed and transitioned to the Contributions Space. This change is intended to streamline Drupal Core and ease its maintenance burden.

Modules Removed from Drupal Core:

Released on August 2, 2024, Drupal 11 builds on the robust foundation of Drupal 10, offering new tools and workflows aimed at simplifying development, enhancing performance, and streamlining content management. Key updates in Drupal 11 include enhanced CKEditor integration, a redesigned Field UI, performance optimizations, and updates to taxonomy term management.

Receiving numerous compliments and accolades for its 10th major release, Drupal maintains its seamless journey into the future. Making its debut this June is Drupal 10.1, a minor version highlighting current advancements. Meanwhile, the path forward holds promises of even more innovation.
