drupal 8.8.6

Maintenance and security release of the Drupal 8 series.

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

• Drupal core - Moderately critical - Third-party libraries - SA-CORE-2020-002

No other fixes are included.

Which release do I choose? Security coverage information

• Drupal 8.8.x will receive security coverage until December 2, 2020 when Drupal 9.1.0 is released.
• Sites on 8.7.x or earlier should update immediately to Drupal 8.7.14 instead, and plan to update to the latest 8.8.x release before June 3, 2020 (when Drupal 8.9.0 is scheduled for release and 8.7.x security coverage ends).
• Versions of Drupal 8 prior to 8.7.x are end-of-life and do not receive security coverage.

Important update information

• This release provides a temporary backwards compatibility layer to minimize disruptions in this security release. However, some sites may experience disruptions in jQuery code for certain edge cases. See the security advisory for more information.

• Visiting update.php is required for this update in order to ensure a site cache clear. (There are no changes to database schemata.)

• 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.
