The new version of the CMS Drupal 10.2 was released on December 15, 2023. Even though it is a minor version, the improvements made are significant and deserve special focus.
User experience, bug fixing and security of a CMS are important criteria. And this new version reinforces these 3 criteria.
User Experience:
New Media tab for entities: This tab allows users to track and manage revisions of media files, as well as better control versions of images and videos.
Improved forms system: Forms are now more intuitive and easier to use, with better error handling and validation messages.
Added support for ISO 8601 date and time format: This improvement makes it easier to exchange data with other systems and applications. For the Webmarketing Agency, this is an important point. Most of the sites we develop are connected to other applications via APIs. On several occasions we have encountered problems related to date/time formats.
Performances:
Cache System Optimization: The cache system has been optimized to improve the overall performance of the website.
Improved asset management: Compression and minification of assets (CSS, JavaScript) is now more efficient.
These new features may seem trivial, but they are very useful optimizations for the natural referencing of your website.
Security:
Security Updates: Drupal 10.2 fixes several important security vulnerabilities.
Improved permissions system: The permissions system has been strengthened to limit unauthorized access to sensitive data.
And also:
Added a new module "Media Library": This module facilitates the management of multimedia files and their use in contents.
Improved accessibility: Drupal 10.2 is more accessible to users with disabilities.
Documentation Update: The Drupal documentation has been updated to reflect changes made in version 10.2.
In summary, Drupal 10.2 is a minor release that brings welcome improvements to user experience, performance, security, and accessibility. This release is recommended for all Drupal 10 websites.
