Drupal 8.2.0 Release Notes

This is a minor version (feature release) of Drupal 8 and is ready for use on production sites. See the CHANGELOG.txt for a summary of changes and improvements since the last minor release. Learn more about Drupal 8 and the Drupal 8 release cycle.

This minor release provides new improvements and functionality without breaking backward compatibility (BC) for public APIs. Note that there may be changes in internal APIs and experimental modules that require updates to contributed and custom modules and themes per Drupal core’s backwards compatibility and experimental module policies.

Experimental modules

The modules listed in this section are considered experimental for this release.Experimental modules are provided with Drupal core for testing purposes, but are not yet fully supported.

Increased stability in 8.2.0

BigPipe (beta stability)

Provides an advanced implementation of Facebook’s BigPipe page rendering strategy, leading to greatly improved perceived performance for pages with dynamic, personalized, or uncacheable content. (See the BigPipe handbook page.) BigPipe is now considered beta stability, which means it is ready for use and testing by early adopters, and the API is stable enough for developers to begin using and extending it. One additional key feature is planned for the 8.3.x branch, and other changes may happen as needed to fix bugs.

New in 8.2.0

Place Block (alpha stability)

This new 8.2.x feature allows the user to place a block on any page and see the region where it will be displayed, without having to navigate to a backend administration form.

Settings Tray (machine name: outside_in, alpha stability)

This is a prototype of Dries’s proposed Outside-In usability enhancements, which allow configuring page elements such as blocks from the front-end of your site. See the roadmap of outstanding issues, which includes both planned improvements and known accessibility and interaction bugs.

Content Moderation (alpha stability)

This new experimental feature allows defining content workflow states such as Draft, Archived, and Published as well as which roles have the ability to move content between one state and another. See the Content Moderation roadmap for the next steps for this module.

Datetime Range (alpha stability)

The experimental DateTime Range module provides a new field type that allows end dates. This is important for helping contributed modules like the Calendar module to work with Drupal 8 core. There are some small presentational, usability, accessibility, and translatability issues with the field, and its API may be refactored somewhat as we improve both it and the stable DateTime module. However, the data model for the field has consensus, so contrib and site authors can begin working with the module so long as they are willing to manage the risks of using an alpha experimental module. You can read the DateTime Range module plan for the next steps to make this useful field a part of the Standard installation.

Still under development

Migrate, Migrate Drupal, and Migrate Upgrade UI (alpha stability)

Use these modules to migrate Drupal 6 or 7 sites onto Drupal 8. See the user guide on upgrading from Drupal 6 or 7 to Drupal 8 for more information. Always back up your data before performing a migration.

• Issues tagged Migrate critical are blockers for these modules being considered stable.
• Drush support is currently only available in the Drupal Upgrade contributed module.
• This release includes an important developer experience improvement for modules providing migrations: #2560795: Fixed the Migrate module to skip over migration sources that require code from uninstalled modules.
• Core now provides migrations for most Drupal 6 data and can be used for migrating Drupal 6 sites to Drupal 8 (now including migrations for core node translations!), but the migration of multilingual functionality is still not complete.
• The Drupal 7 to Drupal 8 migration is incomplete, but is suitable for developers who would like to help improve the migration, and can be used to test upgrades especially for simple Drupal 7 sites. (Outstanding issues for the Drupal 7 to Drupal 8 migration)

Inline Form Errors (alpha stability)

This provides a proof-of-concept for showing form errors inline for improved accessibility. This module has outstanding issues, some of which are significant. This module may be removed from core in 8.3.x if the issues are not resolved within the next six months.

Third-party library updates

• #1869548: Added Stack/Cors 1.0.0.
• #2700741: Updated to jQuery 2.2.3
• #2721351: Updated to Twig 1.24
• #2797427: Updated to CKEditor 4.5.11
• #2712633: Updated to Symfony Routing 1.4.0
• #2712637: Updated to Stack/Builder 1.0.4
• SA-CORE-2016-003: Updated to Guzzle 6.2.1

Changed coding standards

Drupal 8.2.0 has adopted the following coding standards changes:

• #2648050: Local variables and parameters can now use camelCase
• #2248463: A blank line is now required after the <?php opening tag
• #2333243: Relax .gitattributes global rule

Known issues

Drupal 8.2.0 introduces a critical regression for sites using the Rules module that causes blocks to not appear after being placed. Other modules may be affected as well. We are working on a fix for this bug, but in the interim, workarounds are to remain on 8.1.10 until a complete fix is available, or to temporarily disable Rules. Follow#2811519: Blocks do not appear after being placed for more information.

Drupal 8 currently has a number of known issues related to incorrect tracking of file usage, which can result in files being unexpectedly deleted from a site. (These issues also existed in 8.0.x and 8.1.x but have been recently discovered.) Site owners experiencing unexplained file loss should consider setting „Delete orphaned files“ to „Never“ on /admin/config/media/file-system until these issues are resolved, and note the following issues:

• #2801777: Give users the option to prevent Drupal from automatically marking unused files as temporary
• #2708411: File usage not incremented when adding new translation
• #1239558: Deleting a node with revisions does not release file usage
• #2666700: User profile images unexpectedly deleted

The following issues may affect people running Drupal 8.2.0 on specific hosting environments:

• Windows/IIS environments may encounter site errors due to #2606772: Long Twig cache directories can cause failures on Windows
• Particular Apache configurations may have issues with serving public file assets. Issue: #2619250: Disabling -MultiViews in .htaccess can cause 500 errors
