Changelog

• Drupal Core has been security updated to 8.4.5.

• The update:lightning command:

  • Has been ported to Drush 9.
  • Reads the previous version from config and, as a result, no longer requires nor accepts the version argument.
  • Usage:

  drush update:lightning
  # To run all available configuration updates without any prompting, use:
  drush update:lightning --no-interaction 
  

  • Note: Configuration updates from versions of Lightning < 3.0.0 will not be run when using the updated command. You should update to the last available 2.2.x release before updating to 3.x.

• All Lightning components have been updated to RC1 or greater and are no longer pinned to specific releases.

• Component updates:

  • Lightning API has updated JSON API to 1.10.0. See Lightning API's CHANGELOG for more information. (Issue #2933279 and SA-CONTRIB-2018-15)
  • Lightning Layout has fixed a configuration problem that caused an unneeded dependency on the Lightning profile. This means that Lightning Profile is now fully compatible with the Config Installer. (Issue #2933445)
  • Lightning Media now allows media types to be configured without a Source field. (Issue #2928658)
  • Lightning Workflow can now be installed without the Views module. (Issue #2938769)

• Note: This is the last release on the 8.4.x branch of Drupal Core. The next Lightning release will be 3.1.0 and will require core ~8.5.0.

Update Steps

Run drush updatedb && drush cache-rebuild, or visit update.php, to perform automatic database updates. You can also use Drupal Console's update:execute command.

Known issues

Media

• If you upload an image into an image field using the new image browser, you can set the image's alt text at upload time, but that text will not be replicated to the image field. This is due to a limitation of Entity Browser's API.
• Some of the Lightning contributed media module listed above might not yet be compatible with the Core Media entity.
• Using the bulk upload feature in environments with a load balancer might result in some images not being saved.

API

• Users might have trouble interacting with certain configuration entities via the API.
