Drupal 7 end-of-life
The 2.x branch of the UT Drupal Kit is based on Drupal 7, which was first released in January 2011, and is scheduled to reach its official “end of life” on January 5, 2025. All sites using Drupal 7 should be moved to a newer, supported CMS platform by that date. For more information on this transition, please see Update on Drupal 7 end-of-life and the UT Drupal Kit (August 2023).
