Today, Drupal 8.1 was officially released.

All the way back in 2014, we talked about the changes coming to Drupal and how the release cycle would allow for changes to be progressively added to Drupal.

At that time, it was estimated that a new version with new features could be released every 6 months. Keeping to that schedule for Drupal 8 has been problematic due to the size and scope of what they wanted to achieve, but they made it!
