The Backdrop community is proud to announce the release of version 1.28 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)
We're thrilled to announce that we're having our first ever virtual Backdrop CMS conference on Sept 18-19, 2020. We're calling this one Backdrop Live!
Backdrop 1.17 is here, and contains a handful of new features. Below you'll find a few that we are most excited about sharing with you.
The first minor release version delivered on May 15, 2015 and it's full of great features!
It's been 4 months since our the 1.0 release. According to our Roadmap, that means it is time for our first minor version: 1.1.0!
The Best Practices badge is a way for Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS) projects to show that they follow best practices.
eCommerce is one of the driving forces behind a successful webshop and Ubercart in its day was one of the best shopping cart solutions around.
Unfortunately, the developers decided to move away from Ubercart and created Drupal Commerce which took the resources away from Ubercart and its slow demise set in.
The Backdrop community is proud to announce version 1.27 of Backdrop CMS, which was released as scheduled on January 15, 2024. 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.
We've made a change in how we schedule our weekly development, outreach, and design/ux meetings to better accommodate our international participants. Participants in the southern hemisphere were experiencing 4 time changes per year due to daylight savings with a total swing of 2 hours, while participants in the USA experienced consistent start times all year.
EDIT (02/23/2022): A problematic bug was found in 1.21.0 and we have issued a new release to resolve the issue. Please, upgrade directly to 1.21.1 to get all these new features without the bug.
Hats off to Mike McCaffrey for his four years of service on Backdrop's Project Management Committee! Mike was a founding member of the PMC and has helped build, shape and promote Backdrop since the earliest days of the project. His BackdropCMS.org account is a whole seven years old as of writing this post, and he's the person who came up with the name Backdrop!
