The Backdrop community is proud to release version 1.26.0 of Backdrop CMS, following our 4-month release cycle.

Backdrop 1.26.0 has an emphasis on updating our 3rd party libraries. In particular jQuery (and most jQuery-dependent libraries) are caught up to the latest versions. Backdrop is also preparing for the inclusion of CKEditor 5, which is currently still in development as a contributed module.

Backdrop 1.26.0 also fully updates core to be PHP 8.2 compatible.

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.

Changes since version 1.25.2 are listed below.

  • Allow Link fields to be restricted to only internal or external URLs #5678
