• Brief description:
  • Have you been wanting a version of Drupal core that moves away from the hooks system, has PHP 8.5 support, or has better support for asynchronous queries? The newly released Drupal core 11.3 has all these and more.
• Module name/project name:
  • Drupal core 11.3
• Brief history
  • Created in the last few days (hopefully) by the time this episode is released
• Changes
  • Performance improvements
  • New MYSQLi database driver. In combination with the PHP Fibers support added in Drupal 10.2, this should allow Drupal sites to run much faster. Not all hosting environments will have PHP configured to work with the new driver, so for now the new driver is in an experimental core module you will need to install to try the new driver
  • Drupal can now lazy load multiple entities at a time using Fibers
  • PHP 8.5 support should also improve performance, as will a number of caching improvements
  • Some early testing in the community indicates some significant improvements for pages loaded from cold cache, anywhere from 30 to 40% fewer queries
  • One of the significant changes in Drupal core 11.2 was the addition of HTMX as the intended successor to Drupal's older AJAX system. Drupal core 11.3 includes some significant steps on the path to replacing all the places that AJAX system in core
  • There's a new HTMX factory object with methods to abstract the specifics of the attributes and headers needed to implement HTMX
  • HTMX is now used for the Form Builder and ConfigSingleExportForm
  • BigPipe no longer uses the older AJAX API, which itself uses jQuery
  • New Workspace Provider concept, will be interesting to see what new possibilities this creates
  • New administer node published status permission, previously required the much broader "administer nodes" permission
  • Drupal core 11.3 also includes some capabilities that previously required contrib modules
  • Links created within CKEditor5 now dynamically link to the entity and when rendered will automatically point to the most recent alias. Previously Drupal sites needed the Linkit module, which has been part of Drupal CMS since its release at the start of the year
  • Drupal CMS is also heavily based on Drupal's recipe system, which includes the ability to automatically import content included within a recipe. Until now you still
