News & Announcements

Backdrop CMS is excited to announce that we are a Bronze level sponsor for Florida Drupal Camp this coming Feb 21-23 in Orlando, Florida. The Backdrop CMS community has been participating in Florida Drupal Camp for over five years, offering sessions, training workshops and BOF sessions. We very much appreciate the community support that we’ve experienced attending this well organized camp that draws participants from across the country and around the world. 

The Backdrop CMS Project Management Committee is responsible for guiding the direction of the Backdrop project. Three most recent updates from PMC are: Backdrop CMS was a sponsor of Badcamp in October 2024, Joseph Flatt has recently been added to our team of core committers, Irina Zaks has recently been added to our PMC team.

The Backdrop community is proud to announce the release of version 1.29 of Backdrop CMS! 

As part of our commitment to deliver the most usable product, "minor" releases come out three times a year, on a regular schedule. This allows site maintainers to know when to expect updates, and they can plan accordingly. (See https://backdropcms.org/releases for more information on this)

Version 1.29 includes the following new features and enhancements:

The lifespan of Backdrop 1.x has been extended several times as the lifespan of Drupal 7 has been extended. Initially, our goal was for Backdrop 2.x to be released at least 2 years after the end of Drupal 7 support. Our hope was to give Drupal 7 site owners the time they need to both move to Backdrop, and prepare for the first Backdrop major version upgrade.
