Release notes

This is a patch (bugfix) release of Drupal 8 and is ready for use on production sites. Learn more about Drupal 8.

Drupal 8.8.x will receive security coverage until December 2, 2020 when 9.1.0 is released. Sites on Drupal 8.8 should plan to update to 8.9 or 9.0 before that date.

Important update information

Yesterday, Symfony issued a security advisory for their symfony/http-client component, which is not used by Drupal. The Symfony release also updated some compatibility code in the symfony/http-kernel component.

Although Drupal is not affected by this vulnerability, some site owners reported automated security scanners flagging the http-kernel update as a security update, breaking continuous integration builds, etc. For simplicity, this release updates Drupal's metapackages to use the latest release of symfony/http-kernel (version 3.4.44).
