drupal 11.0.0-rc1

This is a release candidate for the next major version of Drupal. Release candidates are not supported for production sites, but they are intended for widespread testing in preparation for the upcoming stable release. More information on release candidates.

Refer to Preparing your site to upgrade to a newer major version for tools you can use to check the Drupal 11 compatibility of modules, themes, and sites. For more information on 11.0.x development, see [meta] Release Drupal 11 in 2024.

The 11.0.x branch also includes all the latest commits that will be backported to 10.3.x and earlier branches. 11.0.x will be nearly identical to 10.3.x except that:

1. Deprecated code will be removed, including entire deprecated modules.
2. Dependencies will be updated to new major versions as appropriate.

For all other changes, refer to the 10.3.x branch.

Sites should update to the latest release of 10.3 prior to updating to Drupal 11

Drupal sites running 10.2.x or earlier versions must first update to 10.3.0 or later prior to updating to Drupal 11, because all core updates added prior to 10.3.0 have been removed. In general, sites should update to the most recent release of their current major branch before updating to the next major release.

Important changes since 11.0.0-beta1

The following are potentially disruptive changes since 11.0.0-beta1:

• The backward compatibility layer for some moved files in core library definitions has been removed. These were 11.0.0 deprecations that were missed when preparing beta1. Most contributed projects will be unaffected, but any that reference the old file locations should use the new library definitions as described in the change record.

• A new API has been added to support backports of database updates across major and minor versions. This primarily affects core development, but might also be needed for contributed projects (since core will support two major versions simulataneously going forward).

• CKEditor has been updated to CKEditor 5 v42.0.0. Site owners and CKEditor contributed project authors may wish to note the minor changes to image and media insertion user interfaces.

  This version also includes the changes to CKEditor plugins from v41.3.1 that have disrupted some contributed projects. Sites and modules experiencing issues with CKEditor plugins should consider switching to CKEditor5 Plugin pack for a more up-to-date version of the plugin which is compatible with the CKEditor5 version shipped with 11.0 and 10.3.

• Symfony has been updated to 7.1.2.

• Drupal core development now requires Node.js 20.

• jQuery UI has been updated to 1.14.0-beta.2. (Drupal 11.0 will be updated to the stable 1.14.0 version as soon as it is available.)

• Numerous other dependencies have received minor- and patch-level updates to the latest versions.

Bugs with 11.0.0-beta1 that are resolved in this release

• #3447198: RecipeCommand mistakenly tries to apply a recipe even if you don't give it a valid directory
• #3449851: Replace LogicException with trigger_error in LangcodeRequiredIfTranslatableValues constraint

Known issues

• #3441010: Container compile crash when a service decorates a destructable service
• #3446026: Adding media library openers use autoconfigure and tags in 10.3.x has BC consequences
• PHP 8.4 compatibility for Drupal 10 and 11 remains under development. 11.1 (or possibly a patch release of 11.0) will provide full compatibility with PHP 8.4.
