drupal_cms_admin_ui 2.0.0-rc1

Drupal CMS 2.0 is nearly upon us. But before that, let us revel in a week of release candidacy.

A number of bugs were fixed, but we were mostly focused on refining and improving the Byte site template and its theme. But we did make a few notable changes:

• #3565771: Apply user picture recipe by default
• #3566357: Add AI Dashboard module to AI Recipe
• #3567833: Enable Canvas AI in AI recipe

As per usual with pre-releases, this release should be used for testing only and is not suitable for building websites. There is no update path for Drupal CMS.

To spin up a Drupal CMS project, use the following commands:

composer create-project "drupal/cms:^2" -s rc --no-install
cd cms
composer config minimum-stability rc
composer install
composer drupal:recipe-unpack

If you are using DDEV, run these commands in an empty directory:

ddev config --project-type=drupal11 --docroot=web
ddev composer create-project "drupal/cms:^2" -s rc --no-install
ddev composer config minimum-stability rc
ddev composer install
ddev composer drupal:recipe-unpack

To install Drupal CMS using Drush, you can use:

drush site:install

This will install the Starter site template. To install Byte, use:

drush site:install ../recipes/byte

Enjoy! Report any bugs (or, if you feel like it, high praise) in the Drupal CMS issue queue.
