Minor updates applied for Symfony PSR-7 Bridge and + Zend Stdlib, which Drupal does not depend on directly. +- Browser support: + * Advance notice: Internet Explore 9 and 10 will no longer supported from + 8.4.x, scheduled for October 2017. Microsoft has 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, so that users on + mobile clients are not offered a confusing and non-functional video + upload option. + * CKEditor now utilizes the AutoGrow plugin to better take advantage of + larger screen sizes. +- Improved site building and administration: + * 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. + * Removed the 'disabled' region from block administration. + * Incoming paths are again case-insensitive for routing, similar to earlier + major Drupal versions. +- 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. + * Added an API to create and enforce default workflow states and + transitions. + * 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): + * Drupal 7 core node translations are now migrated to Drupal 8. + * Configuration translation support is added to migrations in general and + implemented 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. + * Serialized values for Booleans and integers are now returned as the + correct data type, rather than incorrectly typed as strings. +- 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. + * Improve statistics performance by adding a swappable backend. +- Improved developer APIs: + * Deprecated several routing services in favor of two more unified services. + * Replaced the deprecated Symfony ExecutionContextInterface by subclassing + from ConstraintValidator to prepare for an update to Symfony 3. + * 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". +- Changed coding standards: + * Officially adopted short array syntax and updated all of core accordingly. + * 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.) + * 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. + * 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 now uses the new official endpoint for modules and themes, + packages.drupal.org. + * Custom modules and themes can now be installed to correct locations using + composer. + * Added Package.json enabling new JavaScript language features. + Drupal 8.2.0, 2016-10-05 ------------------------ - Updated the git repository configuration to not normalize line endings for
