drupal 8.6.0-beta2

This release fixes security vulnerabilities present in 8.6.0-beta1. Sites using 8.6.0-alpha1 or 8.6.0-beta1 are urged to upgrade immediately after reading the notes below and the security announcement:

• Drupal Core - 3rd-party libraries -SA-CORE-2018-005

This is a beta release for the next feature release of Drupal 8. Betas are good testing targets for developers and site builders who are comfortable reporting (and where possible, fixing) their own bugs. Beta releases are not recommended for non-technical users, nor for production websites. More information on beta releases.

This minor release provides new improvements and functionality without breaking backward compatibility (BC) for public APIs. There may be changes in internal APIs and experimental modules that require updates to contributed and custom modules and themes per Drupal core's backwards compatibility and experimental module policies.

Minor releases may include string changes and additions. Translators can review the latest translation status on localize.drupal.org.

Important update information

The following API additions and changes to experimental modules have been committed since 8.6.0-alpha1:

• Taxonomy terms are now publishable
• Custom blocks can now be set as non-reusable
• MigrateFieldInterface has been changed as a final step towards marking migrate_drupal as stable
• Multilingual migrations now require the Migrate Drupal Multilingual module
  

For important update information and a full list of important changes since 8.5.x, see the 8.6.0-alpha1 release notes.

Important changes since 8.6.0-beta1

This release fixes Drupal Core - 3rd-party libraries -SA-CORE-2018-005. Sites using 8.6.0-beta1 or 8.6.0-alpha1 should update immediately.

Important changes since 8.6.0-alpha1

The Media Library experimental module and the Workspaces experimental module were not included with the alpha release due to ongoing work at the time. Both modules met the plans they set out to get to beta stability themselves, so both new experimental modules are included in the beta release.

The migration team also succeeded with their plan to make the Migrate Drupal and Migrate Drupal UI modules stable. All multilingual migrations are now moved to a new Migrate Drupal Multilingual experimental module. Given that only these set of migrations are experimental, if your site is not multilingual, all of the migration and upgrade modules you use will be stable.

Critical bug fixes

The following critical issues are fixed in Drupal 8.6.0-beta1:

• #2988435: block_content_post_update_add_views_reusable_filter uses an string instead of int for "group"
• #2976335: Use Zend-Feed's standalone extension managers to prevent sites breaking
• #2985716: Cannot save language negotiation settings after upgrade
