The monthly core patch (bug fix) release window is this Wednesday, December 07. Drupal 8.2.4 and 7.53 will be released with fixes for Drupal 8 and 7.
To ensure a reliable release window for the patch release, there will be a Drupal 8.2.x commit freeze from 12:00 UTC Tuesday to 12:00 UTC Thursday. Now is a good time to update your development/staging servers to the latest 8.2.x-dev or 7.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 Drupal 8 release, see the 8.2.x commit log. The Drupal 7 release will only contain one fix for a drag-and-drop regression introduced in Drupal 7.51 (see also the 7.x commit log).
Other upcoming core release windows after this week include:
- Wednesday, December 21 (security release window)
- Wednesday, January 04 (patch release window)
- Wednesday, April 5 (scheduled minor release)
Drupal 6 is end-of-life and will not receive further releases.
