Release notes

This is a maintenance minor release of Drupal 10 and is ready for use on production sites. Maintenance minors are recommended for sites that prefer the minimum changes between releases. Learn more about the Drupal core release cycle.

This maintenance minor provides the best forward-compatibility with Drupal 11. It includes important dependency updates and API additions. It does not break backward compatibility (BC) for public APIs. This is according to Drupal core's backward compatibility and experimental module policies.

Drupal 10.6.x will receive security support until December 2026. Drupal 10.5.x will continue to receive security support until June 2026.

Drupal 10.4.x security support has ended. Sites on any Drupal version prior to 10.5.x should upgrade to a supported release as soon as possible.

Sites on 10.6 upgrading to Drupal 11 must upgrade to 11.3.0 or higher.

Important update information

This update adds an additional dependency on doctrine/lexer that was accidentally missed from Drupal 10.6.0.

There are no other changes. For all other information about Drupal 10.6, see the Drupal 10.6.0 release notes.
