UT Drupal Kit Release Schedule
The UT Drupal Kit (UTDK) is currently on a monthly release schedule, with updates to version 2 (Drupal 7) released on even-numbered months, and version 3 (Drupal 9) released on odd-numbered months. Releases for both versions are targeted for the fourth Tuesday of the month.
Please note that UTDK 2 is based on Drupal 7, which is currently scheduled to reach its official end-of-life in November 2023. New sites should be built using UTDK 3, and UTDK 2 site owners should be developing a plan for rebuilding or migrating sites to a supported version of Drupal as soon as possible. See “Update on Drupal 7 end-of-life and the UT Drupal Kit (March 2022)” for more information.
UTDK 2 releases alternate between “Light” and “Full” releases. “Light” releases include available security updates for Drupal core and contrib modules, and any bug fixes or new features completed since the previous release. “Full” releases include all available Drupal core and contrib updates, as well as bug fixes and new features.
