Important update information

This is a hotfix release to fix two critical regressions that were present in 11.2.0.

For full information on important changes in 11.2, read the 11.2.0 release notes.

• #3531412: New constants in \Drupal\Core\Theme\Registry are private but they are accessed with static:: caused sites with some themes and theme-related modules, including the Bootstrap theme, to receive a fatal error about an undefined constant in 11.2.0. This issue is now fixed. Themes or modules that were working around this issue can be updated for the core fix.

• Due to #2987548: LogicException: The database connection is not serializable., following changes in 11.2, site owners using interface translation would encounter an error when attempting to save a view through the Views UI (and possibly other similar major bugs). The underlying cause for this issue has been resolved.

Known issues

• Numerous site owners and developers have reported difficulty updating to Drupal 11.2.0 due to conflicting versions of Drupal core's development dependencies. Several core development dependencies had their major version constraints increased in the 11.2.0 release:

  • PHPStan was increased from v1 to v2.
  • sebastian/diff was increased from v5 to v6.
  • PHPUnit was increased from v10 to v11.

  In a future bugfix release, we may attempt to support compatibility with both major versions of these dependencies. For the time being, however, we recommend site owners attempt updating all their packages which may use core's development dependencies together, for example:

  composer update "drupal/core*" drupal/automatic_updates "drupal/gin*" drupal/project_browser --with-all-dependencies
  

  For more information and debugging suggestions that may help for your site, see #3531287: Remove core/recommended constraint for sebastian/diff.

• Users of the contributed linkit module should update to version 7.0.5 or higher.

• The Editor advanced link module has an open issue to add compatibility for Ckeditor5 v45.2.0, users of this module may want to delay updating to 11.2.0 until that issue is fixed.
