New dev branch for Patterns 7.x-2.x, a new major release.
You might find that the syntax of some of the Patterns might have changed/being extended. Backward compatibility with Patterns created with the syntax of 7.x-1.x branch is not supported.
The new version of Patterns that will be included in this installation profile provides the following new features:
Syntactic and semantic validation
The new version of Patterns allows the components to implement two separated layers of syntactic and semantic validation, providing a very valuable feedback to the user that is going to run a pattern in case it is necessary to solve any possible conflicts.
Improvement of the export functions and components extension
The new version of Patterns provides a set of enhancements to export automatically the configuration of a site. All the main components possess now automatic export capabilities, and depending on the type of component new options to export it are offered. Two different use cases are distinguised:
- Export the configuration as a pattern consisting of a set of CREATE actions which allows users the creation of patterns for “fresh installation” of certain feature,
- Export the configuration as a pattern consisting of a set of MODIFY actions
DDEV is the official local development tool of Drupal. And like Drupal, DDEV depends on the support of the open source community.
