7. OUR DEMO: HOW WE ARE SAVING THE
DRUPAL WORLD FROM THE ZOMBIE
APOCALYPSE OF CRITICAL ISSUES
8. Lots of things were fixed
during the hackathon…
• 4 critical security issues (in
D6/7 *and* 8!)
• 8 blockers to Safe Markup
criticals
• 2 upgrade path criticals
• 1 Entity API critical
24. Sordid tale…
• Beta 12 (June 29) we started requiring
upgrade paths in core patches.
• Beta 13 (July 29) we attempted to
provide an upgrade path to site
builders from Beta 12
• People tested it, found out stuff broke
(silent fails on content updates)
• Now fixing those issues, and adding
better automated tests to mitigate
future regressions.
32. • Drupal 6/7: more secure for our
customers today
• Drupal 8: more secure for our
customers tomorrow (including
plugging #1 security hole)
• Drupal 8 beta-to-beta upgrade
path two issues away from being
unblocked
• Major milestone for customers
waiting to make the leap into
Drupal 8
• Less Cloud Team angst!
