Download Drupal 8.8.3

Version 8.8.3 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.

• CKEditor has been updated from 4.13.0 to 4.13.1, which includes numerous bug fixes and improvements.
• To allow modules to be compatible with Drupal 8 and 9 at the same time and to support semantic versioning for contributed projects, the Update Manager module now requests an alternative XML feed from updates.drupal.org. The path for the new feed ends in /current rather than /8.x. The new feed will include both module releases with version numbers starting with 8.x- (eg 8.x-3.1) and all releases that use the new semantic version numbering.
  Site owners will not need to make any changes for this change but may notice changes to update pages and contributed project version schemes. For developers, the differences between the new and old XML feeds the differences are detailed in this documentation page.
• Starting with Drupal 8.8.3, the status report will display a message about the security coverage for the current minor version. Drupal 8.8.x will receive security coverage until December 2nd, 2020.
