Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June."What's New" is a light-weight pair of modules for allowing a single Drupal installation to monitor available updates across multiple Drupal sites.
The base "What's New" module creates a secure end-point to which a third party service can pull down a feed of which projects / modules are installed on the site. This feed is intentionally minimalist, containing just what's required to facilitate the dashboard functionality.
The "What's New Dashboard" sub-module (Drupal 8.x only) is a functional (albeit crude right now) dashboard that can securely hooked up to any site running the base module. Offering at a glance, an overview of which modules are installed on which sites, alongside security advisory information.
Future plans are
- Expand the dashboard functionality with filters and improved UX.
- Implement caching and cron tasks to reduce initial dashboard load times.
- Port the base module to other CMS platforms.
