The monthly core patch (bug fix) release window is this Wednesday, August 03. Drupal 8.1.8 will be released with dozens of fixes for Drupal 8. Drupal 8.2.0-beta1 will also be released sometime during the week to begin preparation for the upcoming minor release in October. There will be no Drupal 7 bugfix release this month.

To ensure a reliable release window for the patch and beta releases, there will be a Drupal 8.1.x and 8.2.x commit freeze from 12:00 UTC Tuesday to 12:00 UTC Thursday. (The beta release window may extend later if needed.) Now is a good time to update your development/staging servers to the latest 8.1.x-dev code and help us catch any regressions in advance. If you do find any regressions, please report them in the issue queue. Thanks!

To see all of the latest changes that will be included in the patch release, see the 8.1.x commit log.

Other upcoming core release windows after this week include:

Wednesday, August 17 (security release window)
Wednesday, September 07 (patch release window)
Wednesday, October 5 (scheduled minor release)

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, as well as the Drupal core release cycle overview.
