Drupal 11 Development Insights: A Look Ahead

Staff Reporter

Drupal 9 has officially reached the end of its life, and the spotlight is now on Drupal 10, the current stable version. The development wheels for Drupal 11 have just started turning, leaving many to wonder what's in store for the next iteration of this popular content management system.

In his blog post, Oliver Davies sheds light on the Drupal release strategy, emphasizing that it's based on fixed dates rather than specific features. Whatever is ready by the release date makes the cut, and anything that isn't ready gets deferred to a future version.

Drupal 10 has already showcased this approach with incremental updates like 10.1 and 10.2, introducing UI improvements. According to Davies, this flexibility allows for adding new features even within the Drupal 10 lifecycle, much like the introduction of Layout Builder in Drupal 8.

One key takeaway for Drupal enthusiasts is that Drupal 11 builds upon Drupal 10. It means the modules and themes you're accustomed to will seamlessly work with both versions, facilitating an incremental and smoother upgrade process.
