New mandatory components step in the Drupal pipeline
From 1 November a new step in the Drupal pipeline will enforce the activation of all components currently marked as mandatory in all the websites hosted in DIGIT infrastructure. Developers need to integrate the mandatory components on their sites as soon as possible to avoid deployments block, as it will not be possible to bypass the step. See the list of mandatory components.

Projects currently using Drupal 9 or migrating to Drupal 9 should use Toolkit 8.x. However, due to unexpected issues in the upgrade to Toolkit 8.x, Drupal 8 projects should continue in Toolkit 4.x. Drupal 7 projects should upgrade as soon as possible to a newer version of Drupal (8 or 9) before 1 December 2022. After that date no deployments will be possible for Drupal 7 sites.
