Software update: Drupal 8.6.10

Spread the love

Version 8.6.10 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. It’s simple enough for a novice user, but powerful enough to build a more complex website as well. The program includes a content management platform and a development framework. Version 8.6 includes oEmbed, a new way to add media, and there is a demo that shows what Drupal is capable of. Version 8.6.10, among other things, fixes an important security issue.

release notes

This release fixes security vulnerabilities. Sites are urged to upgrade immediately after reading the security announcement and notes below:

Sites on 8.5.x or earlier should update immediately to Drupal 8.5.11 instead, and plan to update to the latest 8.6.x release before May 2019 (when 8.7.0 is released and 8.5.x security coverage ends).

Important update information for site owners

  • In addition to the above fix, this release includes the fix for #3031740: Updating to 8.6.8 or 8.6.9 with Drush 8 causes data loss via update_fix_compatibility() to prevent Drush 8 issues for sites updating directly from an earlier security release.
  • update.php must be run after updating to ensure changes from the patch take effect.
  • No changes have been made to the .htaccess, web.config, robots.txt or default settings.php files in this release, so upgrading custom versions of those files is not necessary if your site is already on the previous release.

Important update information for module developers

Some contributed module tests may need to be updated if they extend core’s test suite, due to a minor API change in a test base class.
