Drupal Launches New CMS Version 1.0, Retires Drupal 7

Staff Reporter

Drupal has launched version 1.0 of its new CMS on January 15, 2025, following the end of life for Drupal 7 earlier this month. The new Drupal CMS, also known as Drupal Starshot, is built on Drupal Core and introduces significant improvements aimed at simplifying website creation for marketers and non-technical users. Key features include pre-configured functionalities such as blogs, case studies, and events, a modernized user interface, a built-in Media Library for streamlined asset management, and tools like drag-and-drop page building and WYSIWYG editors.

These enhancements address the limitations of Drupal 7, which requires extensive technical expertise and additional modules for functionality. Drupal CMS also offers an on-demand demo environment via Drupal.org, providing users with a hands-on opportunity to explore its capabilities. Scott Weston's blog post on Bounteous covered the release, highlighting the platform’s potential to transform website development and management for the next decade.
