Release notes draft:
The Backdrop community is proud to release version 1.27.0 of Backdrop CMS, following our 4-month release cycle.
Backdrop 1.27.0 includes a major upgrade to CKEditor, updating from CKEditor 4 to CKEditor 5. While existing sites can continue to use CKEditor 4, it's recommended to transition to CKEditor 5 as soon as possible. CKEditor 4 is still included in Backdrop 1.27.0 and existing sites are not automatically updated. See the upgrading to CKEditor 5 blog post for more information.
Another major compatibility change includes fully dropping support for Internet Explorer (all versions). Microsoft officially stopped supporting Internet Explorer in 2021. Microsoft Edge and other browsers are not affected by this change.
No changes have been made to the .htaccess
, robots.txt
or default settings.php
files in this release. Updating customized versions of those files is not necessary.
It will be necessary to run the update script (located at /core/update.php
) for this release.
theme_item_list()
#6148(These fixes were made between 1.27.0-preview and the 1.27.0 release.)
The events site is updated (and I updated the theme too so the newsletter signup in the footer looks nice) edit: the docs site is updated now too. :tada
The Pantheon upstream is updated.
The new language template file for the translation server is created.
I tried to update the demo sandboxes but I don't seem to understand how the update process works. I think the repository is at https://github.com/backdrop-ops/tugboat-demos, but I don't know how to update it. @klonos (or @BWPanda), could you help provide some insight?
I'm on it @quicksketch ...I usually just follow the instructions we already have in https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop-issues/wiki/Update:-Tugboat and that's all it takes.
...all done! 😉 (checked by spinning a new demo site, and confirmed that it was provisioned with 1.27.0)
Moving on to update the Wikipedia pages next...
...I've updated the Wikipedia template, however the 2 articles where it's being used have not been updated yet. All the previous times I've done that before would also update the the 2 articles instantly. Perhaps there's some delay before the changes propagate now. I'll check again later.
Ah thanks, I didn't think to check the wiki. Would you be willing to update the README in the tugboat-demos with a link to the wiki for future reference? @klonos
@quicksketch there's a link to the Wiki in the respective task in the issue summary (and that's in the template we use for the release tasks, so it's always there) 😉
Wikipedia articles updates to reflect 1.27.0 btw.
@quicksketch I don't have permissions in the tugboat-demos repo (can I please?), so here's a PR instead: https://github.com/backdrop-ops/tugboat-demos/pull/7
Super, thanks @klonos! I made you an admin on the repository.
