The Backdrop community is proud to release version 1.23.0 of Backdrop CMS, following our 4-month release cycle.

Notes for updating

  • No changes have been made to the .htaccess, robots.txt or default settings.php files in this release. Updating customized versions of those files is not necessary.
  • It will be necessary to run the update script (located at /core/update.php) for this release.
  • This release includes an API Change. While we try hard to maintain compatibility as much as possible between releases, this change was needed to facilitate the inclusion of Entity Reference module in core. Please see the change record File::uri() Now Returns Path to File Entity Page, Not the File Path for more information.
