Download Drupal 8.8.2

Version 8.8.2 of Drupal has been released. Drupal is a PHP-written, user-friendly and powerful content management platform, with which, for example, websites can be created. It’s simple enough for a novice user, but powerful enough to build a more complex website as well. The program includes a content management platform and a development framework. Version 8.8 is the last version to which (major) changes are still being made. Both version 9.0 and version 8.9 will be released in early June. The latter is a version where long-term support will be provided.

Important update information

If you are upgrading to this release from 8.7.x or earlier, read the Drupal 8.8.0 release notes before upgrading to this release.

• ConfigEntityUpdater now enforces that it is only used for one update function at a time via an exception, whereas this behavior was previously silently broken. Read the change record on ConfigEntityUpdater for more information.
• This is the first release of Drupal 8 core to use a new packaging pipeline that automates the Composer build process (composer create-project) to create release packages.

  The packaged tar and zip files that were available from 2020-02-01 20:20 UTC until 2020-02-02 00:15 UTC were erroneously published with Drupal 8.8.1 packaged inside. If you downloaded a tarball during that window, you should re-download it and upgrade again using the new tarball.

Drupal 8.8.x will receive security coverage until December 2nd, 2020.
