Release notes

Maintenance and security release of the Drupal 8 series.

This release fixes security vulnerabilities. Sites are urged to upgrade immediately after reading the security announcement and notes below:

Versions of Drupal 8 prior to 8.5.x are end-of-life and do not receive security coverage. Sites on 8.5.x will receive security coverage until May 2019 (when 8.7.0 is released).

Important update information

For site owners

  • update.php must be run after updating to ensure changes from the patch take effect.

  • No changes have been made to the .htaccess, web.config, robots.txt or default settings.php files in this release, so upgrading custom versions of those files is not necessary if your site is already on the previous release.

For module developers

Some contributed module tests may need to be updated if they extend core's test suite, due to a minor API change in a test base class.
