drupal 8.0.5

This is a patch release of Drupal 8 and is ready for use on production sites. See the CHANGELOG.txt for an extensive summary of changes and improvements since Drupal 7! Learn more about Drupal 8.

This release only contains bug fixes, along with documentation and testing improvements. A beta release for the next feature release of Drupal, 8.1.0-beta1, is also available for testing. We expect to release the first release candidate for 8.1.0 on April 6th, and the stable 8.1.0 release on April 20th.

The following important issues are resolved in 8.0.5 (in addition to the dozens of other fixes listed at the end of this post):

• #2496867: Translatable image file is not working unless you also config the image field. Config can get lost anyway.
• #2602268: Translated string are loaded into Views UI and then saved as default language strings.
• #2616164: /update.php/run URL is generated with language prefix and returns 404 error
• #2642374: Dependency removal logic incorrectly affects indirect dependents
• #2665410: Book module breadcrumb remains cached when node title (or access) changes
• #2671916: node_access_rebuild() will never work after since entityQuery has now accessCheck default set to true and the grants are deleted beforehand
• #2649352: views_embed_view() should use a render array so metadata can bubble up

Known issues

There are no known regressions in this release.

The following issues may affect people running Drupal 8.0.5 on specific hosting environments:

• Installs on php-fpm environments may see fatal errors on enabling modules, due to #2572293: Do not rebuild router in kernel.terminate.
• There is not yet per-commit testing for MySQL 5.7.9 or MariaDB 10.1.8 (both released October 2015), but there are no known issues with them. We intend to add per-commit testing on one of these databases soon.
• Particular Apache configurations may have issues with serving public file assets. Issue: #2619250: Disabling -MultiViews in .htaccess can cause 500 errors
