Drupal launches Drupal 11, the latest version of the Open Source CMS

Drupal 11 continues enhancing the strengths of the platform. It makes structured content, workflows and content governance more flexible and easier for ambitious builders. Drupal 11 is designed to empower ambitious site builders to build exceptional websites and to accelerate Drupal's innovation,” says Dries Buytaert, Founder and Project Lead of Drupal. “With Drupal 11, we've made Drupal more intuitive, powerful and flexible, ensuring it continues to lead in web development and digital experience creation. This latest version of Drupal brings together code and design for a refreshed CMS navigation experience, with an updated toolbar and a collapsible left-hand menu, all designed to ensure a seamless development experience. With new Recipes functionality, you can add new features to your website instantly by applying a set of predefined configuration. A recipe can provide anything that can be configured in Drupal, from a simple content type to a full suite of features. You can create your own recipes to share or reuse, or apply recipes created by other Drupal users. Recipes are experimental in this release but already usable and expected to be stable in 11.1. Single-Directory Components simplify front-end development by consolidating all necessary code into a single directory, making components self-contained and effortlessly reusable. Drupal’s high performance means it runs fast by default with swift page loading and Drupal 11 is even faster than previous versions, running up to 50% faster on PHP 8.3.
