This is a release candidate for the next minor version (feature release) of Drupal 11. Release candidates are not supported for production sites, but they are intended for widespread testing in preparation for the upcoming stable release. More information on release candidates.
This minor release provides improvements and new functionality. It does not break backward compatibility (BC) for public APIs. There may be changes in internal APIs and experimental modules. If so, contributed and custom modules and themes may need updating. This is according to Drupal core's backward compatibility and experimental module policies.
This release may include string changes and additions. Translators can review the latest translation status on localize.drupal.org.
Drupal 11.3.x will receive security support until December 2026. Drupal 11.2.x will continue to receive security support until June 2026.
Drupal 11 will be supported until the release of Drupal 13.
