Drupal 11: What’s New and What’s Next
Matt Robison's recent blog post on Lullabot delves into the exciting new features and future developments of Drupal 11, released on August 2nd, 2024. This version significantly improves navigation, content governance, and theme maintenance. Notable updates include the new experimental navigation module, which features a customizable vertical menu, and the stabilization of Single Directory Components (SDC) that simplify theme development.
The Workspaces module is now stable, allowing for streamlined staging of configuration and content changes. The new experimental Recipes module automates module installation and configuration, facilitating quickstarts for new websites. Additionally, the Access Policy API offers more granular control over user actions beyond traditional roles and permissions.
Several modules have been moved to the contribution space, reducing the core maintenance burden.
Upgrading from Drupal 10 involves ensuring compatibility with PHP 8.3 and migrating away from Microsoft IIS. Looking ahead, Drupal 11.1 will bring further enhancements, including updates to Recipes, Project Browser, and Automatic Updates, all aimed at paving the way for Drupal Starshot.
