"Based on our experience with our successful release candidates, we are confident to announce that Drupal 8.0.0 will be released on November 19, 2015! Until then, we will continue publishing Drupal 8 release candidates with the latest fixes."
With all the well deserved praise of Drupal 8 good ole Drupal 7 can be overshadowed. In this post David Rothstein tells us about some new features in this latest release of Drupal 7. Yes, this is not a typo. New features in Drupal 7.
Acquia is partnering with WPP. If you're like me you have no idea who WPP is. Essentially WPP is a collection of different marketing agencies and they will be working closely with Acquia. This is another example of the maturation of the market place for Drupal work. It is getting bigger and more competitive.
Hat tip to the great folks over at Chapter Three. They have hired two more Drupal 8 core developers. But more than that Nica Lorber makes a very strong case for the benefits of hiring core developers. I hope we see more companies doing likewise.
