Advice
We would like to inform you of the tentative dates for the upcoming GovCMS Drupal 10 (D10) release and deployment. This release will see an upgrade of Drupal Core from 10.3.13 to 10.3.14.

The final release date is subject to change, as it will be determined by the testing outcomes. The date will be confirmed when the distribution is released and the release notes are expected to be sent on Monday 14 April 2025.

As a reminder, a SaaS deployment block is in place ONLY while we update the production branches. During this time, you will still be able to develop and deploy to non-production feature branches. We are wanting to give you as much lead time as possible, should you need to adjust your timeframes.

PaaS deployments schedules are not impacted.

Tentative deployment schedule:
- Deployment to commence from 6am Tuesday 15 April 2025 and will be conducted throughout the daytime.
- Production branches completed by 10am Wednesday 16 April 2025
- Non-Production branches completed by 10am Thursday 17 April 2025
