UT Drupal Kit 2.3 Release

ITS is happy to announce the immediate availability of UT Drupal Kit 2.3, the third maintenance release for our University distribution since the inclusion of the Forty Acres theme and the Page Builder module.

Additionally, we have also released a new “Add-On” feature for Events that can be downloaded separately and added to a Drupal Kit-based site.

The full description of this release, including the Events add-on, is available in Mark Fullmer’s July 1 blog post, “Coming Soon, UT Drupal Kit 2.3.”

How to Update the UT Drupal Kit

Complete instructions for updating a UT Drupal Kit site are available on the documentation wiki, including instructions for the patchfile-based approach that can be used to update sites hosted on UT Web.

Please review the release notes thoroughly, and always make backups of your code, files, and database before proceeding with an update!
