Backdrop CMS is one month away from our 25th on-time release, version 1.24.0. Every 4 months, we release a new version which brings with it new improvements and features to Backdrop CMS. Feature freeze is scheduled for Jan 1, 2023 and the release will be on Jan 15th. In the final weeks of each release cycle, there is a frenzy of activity and we try to get new improvements finalized and approved.
If you have contributed to Backdrop CMS core in the past or have plans to do so in the future, now is a great time to lend us a hand. We've asked members of the community to identify the issues that they would most like to see get some attention in the final weeks of this development cycle. Here are the issues they have identified as most needing some attention - testing, feedback, code reviews, or additional work on the code (up to 3 issues per person).
We may be scheduling some virtual sprints this month to help move these issues forward. Watch our events page for sprint opportunities or office hours.
We will be updating this list periodically through the release of 1.24.0. Please, contact us in Zulip if you would like to add your own issues to this list.
