The monthly core patch (bug fix) release window is this Wednesday, March 02. Drupal 8.0.5 will be released with dozens of fixes for Drupal 8. Drupal 8.1.0-beta1 will also be released to begin preparation for the upcoming minor release in April. There will be no Drupal 7 bugfix release this month.
To ensure a reliable release window for the patch and beta releases, there will be a Drupal 8.0.x and 8.1.x commit freeze from 00:00 to 23:30 UTC on Wednesday, March 02. Now is a good time to update your development/staging servers to the latest 8.0.x-dev code and help us catch any regressions in advance. If you do find any regressions, please report them in the issue queue. Thanks!
To see all of the latest changes that will be included in the release, see the 8.0.x commit log.
Other upcoming core release windows after this week include:
- Wednesday, March 16 (security release window)
- Wednesday, April 06 (patch release window)
- Wednesday, April 20 (scheduled minor release)
Drupal 6 is end-of-life and will not receive further releases.
