Bye, Bye Drupal 6

Parent Feed: 

It's the year 2013 and here at Cocomore we are looking forward to the future of Drupal and the release of Drupal 8.

With the release of Drupal 8 the official support for Drupal 6 ends. At the latest from this event the use of Drupal 7 should be planned. There is still some time left, but a migration does not happen during overnight. And no one wants to run a system that is not supported any more and where no security updates are available. Even http://drupal.org will soon be migrated

On February 13th 2008 Drupal 6 was published. One year later in August 2009 Cocomore started to publish its own Drupal Core because there were several problems with the official Drupal 6 core. In all these years we started to love Drupal 6 - we had 5 really good years together.

Since Drupal 7 was published we started to use it for our new projects. Recently we neglected our Drupal 6 core because we do not have many Drupal 6 sites left. So we think now it's time to say "Bye, Bye Drupal 6". We had a good time with you, but now it's time to move forward. Drupal 8 is coming. We will stop supporting Drupal 6 and we will not publish any new updates for our Drupal 6 core.

Everybody who does not want to resign the Drupal 6 core we recommend to have a look at the repository of Markus Kalkbrenner (Bio.logis) - https://github.com/mkalkbrenner/6. This Drupal 6 Core is based on the Cocomore core and contains the same modifications. So, a change without problems is possible.

We want to thank everybody who helped to work at the Drupal 6 core and even on the huge amount of modules. You have done a very great job. Thank you all!
