GovCMS: Content management and website hosting for the Australian government. Managed by the Department of Finance with service delivery partners Salsa Digital and amazee.io
Advice We would like to inform you of an upcoming GovCMS Drupal 10 (D10) and Drupal 11 (D11) release and deployment. It will address DSA advisory PSA-2026-05-18 (https://www.drupal.org/psa-2026-05-18). Release notes will be sent out on 22 May 2026.
In preparation for this release, shield will be enabled on all non-production environments from 20 May 2026. If you are unsure of the shield credentials, please raise a service desk ticket.
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.
Deployment schedule: - Deployment to commence from 3am Thursday 21 May 2026 and will be conducted throughout the daytime. - Production branches completed by 10am Friday 22 May 2026 - Non-Production branches completed by 10am Saturday 23 May 2026
PaaS Actions It is very important that you make plans to address this advisory (https://www.drupal.org/psa-2026-05-18) on Thursday morning 21 May 2026. We also strongly advise that you turn on shield for all non-productions environments.
