GovCMS D10 update 3.28.3 Feb 11, 2026 06:00 - Feb 15, 2026 10:00 AEDT
Advice
- Who is affected: GovCMS Drupal 10 (D10) community.
- No outages are expected to websites during the deployment process.
- The D10 distribution will continue to be supported after this update.
- If you have any concerns, raise a ticket at https://www.govcms.support
Schedule:
- Distribution was released on Tuesday 10 February 2026
- Deployments to commence from 6am Wednesday 11 February and will be conducted throughout the day
- Production branches completed by 10am (AEDT) Thursday 12 December 2025
- Once production environments are completed, status page will be updated and Non-Production environments will kick off
- Non-Production branches completed by 10am (AEDT) Friday 13 December 2025
❗ IMPORTANT NOTICE 1: Deployments during maintenance window
- During the scheduled maintenance window, ALL D10 SaaS deployments will be blocked while we deploy to the D10 Production environments.
- While the production block is on, you will still be able to develop and deploy to non-production feature branches.
- PaaS deployments schedules are not impacted.
❗ IMPORTANT NOTICE 2: Update local environments
- Ensure you update your local environments to the latest release. Not rebasing your codebase results in mismatched database configuration causing errors in forklifts and deployments.
❗ IMPORTANT NOTICE 3: For customers with configuration management enabled
- The latest configuration from your production database has been created for you in GitLab in a branch called action-required/latest-config-export.
- You need to review and test the changes in the merge request. Once you are satisfied, please check the “Delete source branch” box and click “Merge”.
- This MUST be done before any new commits.
- All subsequent deployments will be blocked in the CI pipeline until this merge request branch is deleted
- Not merging the latest configuration provided could result in your new database configuration reverting to an older version when you next deploy, potentially causing issues for your website.
- If no merge request is lodged after a release then no configuration has changed and no further action is required.

GovCMS Logging Platform - Scheduled Upgrade Feb 11, 2026 22:00 - Feb 12, 2026 06:00 AEDT
We will be performing a planned upgrade to the GovCMS OpenSearch Logging Platform during this window to enhance performance, security, and reliability. This upgrade also introduces improvements to search accuracy, dashboard responsiveness, and overall performance. You may also notice small visual updates to the interface as part of this release.
During the upgrade window, you may experience brief and intermittent interruptions to logging data or dashboard access as updates are applied. All logs, dashboards, and data will remain intact, and normal operation will resume automatically once the upgrade is complete.
