Which release do I choose? Security coverage information

  • Sites on 8.6.x will receive security coverage until December 4, 2019 (when Drupal 8.8.0 is scheduled for release and 8.6.x security coverage ends).
  • Versions of Drupal 8 prior to 8.6.x are end-of-life and do not receive security coverage.

    • Important update information

    • 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.
