@alexpott premiered Config installer an install profile that takes over the Drupal installer and allows sites to be created from existing configuration. This opens the door for some interesting possibilities moving forward. We upgraded Drupal core to use Symfony 2.6 stable. Symfony 2.6 includes over 100 new features and enhancements. For full details see the release announcement. Following on from SA-CORE-2006 we removed mixed SSL support from core, focusing on security by default. We updated CKEditor library to 4.4.6, which included an important security fix.

This problem was caused by the initial decision of limiting each search index to a single entity (or other) type – since normal searches are always executed on a single index, a search across multiple types cannot be created this way. While other, maybe better-working workarounds in Drupal 7 would be possible, this is solved completely in Drupal 8 where this restriction doesn’t exist anymore.

we are not deciding WHAT gets funded. This gets handled by the branch maintainers, keeping the Association on the right side of the “we don’t direct the project” line. The Drupal 8 Accelerate program is a fantastic opportunity for the Association to support and amplify community efforts. All of our favorite work at the Association follows this model - DrupalCon session selection, Community Cultivation Grants, Global Training Days, and DrupalCamp Fiscal Sponsorship to name a few. We’re here to make it easier for you to innovate, and this program is yet another example.

In this query, we retrieve the node ids of all the published nodes that have been last updated before the current time, that have the word cat inside their title and that have a taxonomy term called cats as a reference in the field_tags. As you can see, there is no more distinction between propertyCondition and fieldCondition (as there is in D7 with EntityFieldQuery). Additionally, we can include conditions based on referenced entities tacking on the entity.(column) to the entity reference field name.

run down all the features that have been backported from Drupal 8 to D7.
