Software update: Drupal 8.0.6

Version 8.0.6 of Drupal has been released. Drupal is a PHP-written, user-friendly and powerful content management platform, with which, for example, websites can be created. In version 8, responsive templates are enabled by default, so a website always looks good, regardless of the device used to view it. Drupal 8 has made the switch from xhtml to html5, which makes web apps possible, among other things. Furthermore, the source code written in PHP has been considerably cleaned up and modernized and the performance has been improved through smarter caching.

Version 8.0.6 is already the last planned release in the 8.0 series. Version 8.1.0, a minor release, is already in the works and should be released April 20th if all goes well. A release candidate will be available shortly. Version 8.0.6 contains only bug fixes and improvements to documentation and testing procedures.
