Microsoft have now ended support for these + browsers. Drupal will still support Internet Explorer 11 and its + replacement, Edge. +- Raised stability levels of experimental modules: + * Updated the BigPipe module from beta to stable. + * Updated the Migrate module from alpha to beta. + * See https://www.drupal.org/core/experimental#versions for more + information about the stability levels of experimental modules. +- Improved authoring features: + * Can now drag and drop images into image fields in Quick Edit mode. + * Image fields are now limited to only accepting images, not also videos. + * CKEditor now utilizes the AutoGrow plugin to better take advantage of + larger screen sizes. +- Improved site administration experience: + * Redesigned status report. + * Standardized display of Views overview page to more closely match that of + other administrative overview pages. + * Views filter order now matches the table column order below in Content + and People overview pages. + * The "Allowed HTML tags" input has been converted to a textarea, which + significantly improves the usability of HTML filter configuration. + * Remove the 'disabled' region from Block UI. + * Bulk operation actions might not act on the selected items. +- Content Moderation improvements (experimental): + * Refactored to use new experimental Workflows module. + * Now supports moderation of non-translatable entity types. + * When reverting a moderated revision, the moderation state is now + reverted too. + * A new initializeWorkflow() method in WorkflowTypeInterface to add + default states and transitions to workflows of that type. + * New WorkflowTypeInterface reads workflow type annotation for a list of + required states. These cannot be deleted via UI; if not present on save() + RequiredStateMissingException is thrown. + * Allow moderation of entity types without bundles, as long as they have + revisions. + * Publishes any entity type that implements EntityPublishedInterface, not + just Nodes. +- Migration improvements (experimental): + * Migrate Drupal 7 core node translations to Drupal 8. + * Add config translation support to migrations and implement for Drupal 6 user profile fields. +- Improved REST API and decoupled site features: + * REST API now supports the registering of users. + * Anonymous REST API performance increased by 60% by utilizing the internal + page cache. + * Improved the response bodies and status codes for requests with incorrect + request headers or request bodies, in dozens of situations. + * Massive overhaul of the test coverage. + * 403 responses now return reason why access was denied. + * All serialized values are strings, should be integers/booleans when appropriate. +- Improved performance/scalability: + * Optimized class loader detection made more generic to support class + loaders other than ApcClassLoader. + * ViewsData and Token info cache now use the default cache bin to prevent + APCu memory from being filled too quickly. + * Shorten length of Twig cache directory. Lengthy file/directory names could + be problematic in some circumstances. Warn Windows users if public file + path is too long. + * Improve statistics performance by adding a swappable backend. +- Improved developer APIs: + * Various variations of routers merged into either AccessAwareRouter or + DynamicRouter to simplify the routing system. + * @todo: Somehow explain this change: https://www.drupal.org/node/2721179 + * EntityPublishedInterface and EntityPublishedTrait have been added to give + a generic publishing API, and are being used by Node and Comment entity + types. + * Added a collection label to EntityType. This is a plural uppercase label for + a collection of entities - e.g. "Workflows". + * A new property originalRevisionId has been added to revisionable entities + to store the old revision ID after it was updated. +- Changed coding standards: + * Switch to short array syntax. + * PHP CodeSniffer and Drupal Coder have been added as composer dev requirements, + so they can be installed automatically with `composer install --dev` rather + than requiring separate installation. (Do not use `composer install --dev` + for production sites.) https://www.drupal.org/node/2744463 + * Most global constants in Drupal 8 have been deprecated in favor of class + constants. As a best practice, use appropriate class constants rather than + global constants. +- Testing improvements: + * Integrated PHPUnit verbose output in SimpleTest UI. + * Improved backward compatibility with WebTestBase. + * Enlargement of JS test coverage. + * Improved backward compatibility between BrowserTestBase and WebTestBase. + * Many old WebTestBase tests have been moved to BrowserTestBase. + * Expanded automated test coverage for JavaScript. +- Package management: + * composer.json uses the new official endpoint for modules and themes, + packages.drupal.org + Drupal 8.2.0, 2016-10-05 ------------------------ - Updated the git repository configuration to not normalize line endings for
