Drupal core security release window and 8.1.0 release on Wednesday, April 20, 2016

Start: 

2016-04-19 12:00 - 2016-04-21 12:00 UTC

Event type: 

Online meeting (eg. IRC meeting)

The monthly security release window for Drupal 8 and 7 core will take place on Wednesday, April 20.

This does not mean that a Drupal core security release will necessarily take place on that date for any of the Drupal 8 or 7 branches, only that you should watch for one (and be ready to update your Drupal sites in the event that the Drupal security team decides to make a release).

This is also the release window for Drupal 8.1.0, the next scheduled minor release of Drupal 8. To ensure a reliable release window for the patch release, there will be a Drupal 8.1.x commit freeze from 12:00 UTC Tuesday to 12:00 UTC Thursday. Read the release candidate announcement for more information on the minor release.

The next window for a Drupal core patch (bug fix) release for all branches is Wednesday, May 04. (Drupal 6 is end-of-life and will not receive further releases.)

For more information on Drupal core release windows, see the documentation on release timing and security releases, and the discussion that led to this policy being implemented.
