Description: 

The Drupal Security Team will be coordinating a security release for Drupal 8 this week on Wednesday, August 1, 2018. (We are issuing this PSA in advance because the in the regular security release window schedule, August 1 would not typically be a core security window.)

The Drupal 8 core release will be made between 16:00 – 21:00 UTC (noon – 5:00pm EDT). It is rated as moderately critical and will be an update to a vendor library only.

August 1 also remains a normal security release window for contributed projects.

Updates

  • 2018-07-31 — Made the time window consistent with the normal security release window.
  • 2018-08-01 — Added UTC times in addition it EDT.
