GovCMS Invites You to Preview the Next Upcoming Major Release for Drupal Core 10.4.x

GovCMS is preparing for the next major D10 Drupal Core release from 10.3.x to 10.4.x. SaaS customers will need to preview how the changes will affect your website. Your preview feature branch will be available for 4 weeks from 16 April – 16 May 2025. This allows GovCMS enough time to finalise testing before Drupal Core 10.3.x reaches end of life in June 2025.

You will be able to access the preview/govcms_update environment via the dashboard. This branch will not count towards your maximum number of environments in your project. You will need to prioritise the checking of your site, as this will alert you to any issues when 10.4 is applied. Ensure you check the functionality of your site including theme, webforms and integration with external services. The Drupal Core change will not affect your site's content. 

If there is functionality in the preview feature branch not working, consult your developers and if required, advise the GovCMS team by raising a Service Desk ticket. We have also published preview branch support documentation in the Service Desk Knowledge Base.

We encourage PaaS customers to assess, plan and address this core upgrade as it pertains to your distribution. If you use the GovCMS D10 distribution, you will be able to follow along the same steps that we used and apply it to your distribution.

Reminder: Once Drupal Core 10.3.x reaches end of life in June 2025 it will no longer be covered by Drupal Security.
