drupal 8.0.0-beta3

Betas are good testing targets for developers and site builders who are comfortable reporting (and where possible, fixing) their own bugs, and who are prepared to rebuild their test sites from scratch when necessary. Beta releases are not recommended for non-technical users, nor for production websites. More information on beta releases.

An upgrade path will not be supported from this release to the next beta release, nor before all known upgrade path blockers are resolved.

Known issues

There are still over 100 critical issues with this beta release that need to be resolved before we will create a release candidate.
