The 3.12.0 maintenance release of the UT Drupal Kit, which will include the update to Drupal 10, was originally scheduled for Tuesday, May 23, 2023.

In order to allow sufficient time for internal testing, this release is being delayed two weeks, to Tuesday, June 6, 2023.

We encourage site owners to use this additional time to ensure that their sites are prepared for the Drupal 10 update. Please review “February 2023 Update – UT Drupal Kit’s Roadmap to Drupal 10” for an overview of all necessary changes.

Post author By Paul Grotevant
Post date May 2, 2023

NOTE: The previous official release of the UT Drupal Kit was numbered 3.11.1. During the packaging process of this hotfix release, a version 3.11.2 was briefly available but immediately revoked due to an error in the packaging process. Please ensure that all sites are updated to 3.11.3 as the most recent version.

UT Drupal Kit 3.11.3 is an interim release outside of the normal bi-monthly maintenance release cycle. This release contains a Drupal core update and a patch to fix a fatal error in the XML Sitemap module (xmlsitemap). This release also corrects metatag data that was incorrectly formatted during site migrations from Drupal 7.

There are no additional manual update steps required for this update.

For full details of all issues included in this release, please refer to the changelog on the release notes, which links to the corresponding GitHub issues.

NOTE: Please see updated information on this issue at “Disruption to UT Drupal Kit’s Twitter feed functionality.”
