Release notes

As there are currently zero release-blocking issues (!), the hope is that this is the final beta before we start issuing release candidates!

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, and could have public security vulnerabilities. More information on beta releases.

hook_update_N() is now required for all core schema changes. This means it may be possible to update development sites between beta releases starting with beta12. Ensure you take a database backup and carefully review your site for regressions when updating.

All core patches should continue providing hook_update_N() from this point on where necessary.
