This repository serves as a comprehensive archive of Drupal core change records. It provides detailed, aggregated information about the changes introduced in various Drupal versions, making it a valuable resource for developers, themers, and site builders.
The primary goal of this project is to offer a centralized and easily accessible collection of change logs. This helps the Drupal community to:
- Understand the impact of new releases on modules, themes, and sites.
- Track deprecations, API changes, and new features.
- Prepare for upgrades by reviewing all relevant changes in one place.
The change records are organized by Drupal's major version. Each major version has its own directory.
For example:
drupal-11/: Contains all change records related to Drupal 11.
Within each version directory, you will find Markdown files corresponding to specific minor releases. For instance, drupal_changes_all_details_11.2.0.md contains all the published change records for Drupal core version 11.2.0.
Each file is a compilation of the official change records published on Drupal.org. The records include:
- Title and Link: The title of the change record and a direct link to the node on drupal.org.
- Version Information: The Drupal version in which the change was introduced.
- Impacts: Who is affected by the change (e.g., module developers, site builders).
- Description: A detailed explanation of the change, often including code snippets, before-and-after examples, and migration instructions.
All information is sourced directly from the official Drupal.org Change Records. This repository aims to mirror that information in a structured, file-based format for offline access and easier searching.
