Jim Birch Explores Drupal 11's New Features and Upgrade Path

Staff Reporter

Jim Birch, Drupal Engineering Manager at Kanopi Studios, has written a detailed blog post on the recent release of Drupal 11, highlighting the platform's new features and improvements. Unlike previous versions, which are often tied to the end-of-life of underlying technologies, Drupal 11 releases to remove deprecated code and solidify enhancements in functionality and performance. Key updates include stabilizing the Workspace module, supporting Single-Directory Components, creating a new Navigation module, and introducing the experimental Recipes API.

As Drupal evolves, removing less-used modules from the core, which are now available in the contrib space, reflects a focus on refining the platform’s capabilities. With Drupal 10 supported until June 2026, Birch advises those running Drupal 10.3 and PHP 8.3 to consider upgrading to Drupal 11 to benefit from the latest advancements. Kanopi Studios is available to assist with the transition.
