Enable Telemetry - Share Anonymous Data for Better Development Decisions
Backdrop core developers and project leaders are frequently called upon to make important development decisions, with very little information about how site owners and administrators typically use Backdrop CMS and how they configure it. With the release of Backdrop 1.20.0 (and later versions), we hope that situation is getting better, but we need your help.
Preview Release available for Backdrop CMS 1.21.0
There is a preview release available for Backdrop 1.21.0. Please use this version if you would like to help us test the features in the new version of Backdrop prior to the official release on January 15th, 2022.
Please, consider spinning up a new site or testing this preview release on a test site to help us catch any new bugs or regressions.
