Dries Buytaert has published a blog summarizing his State of Drupal keynote delivered a few weeks ago at DrupalCon Asia 2024 in Singapore. The keynote, part of DrupalCon’s return to Asia after an eight-year hiatus, showcased significant advancements in Drupal CMS (code-named Drupal Starshot), aimed at making it a leading no-code website-building platform. Key features presented include AI integration for complex site-building, advanced search capabilities, enhanced privacy management, improved media tools, real-time accessibility feedback, streamlined analytics integration, and the new Experience Builder for visual page construction. The blog highlights the growing contributions to Drupal, with credits tripling since 2019, and announces the release candidate for Drupal CMS, ahead of the official launch on January 15, 2025. Buytaert also emphasized the broader strides made in marketing, Drupal.org modernization, and documentation, while encouraging the community to join release parties to celebrate Drupal CMS’s progress.
