What Drupal 7 EOL is, what it means for you, and what your options are

lynette@tag1consulting.com — Mon, 08 Feb 2021 17:56:49 +0000

If you’ve ever worked with software, or in software development, you’ve experienced the potential crisis that comes with an End of Life (EOL) announcement. Decisions must be made - do you upgrade, when, how, to what version, do you change software entirely, how much will all of these changes cost?

Drupal 7 and Drupal 8 End of Life

lynette@tag1consulting.com — Tue, 22 Sep 2020 18:23:33 +0000

At DrupalCon Global 2020, Tag 1 Consulting CEO Jeremy Andrews and Managing Director Michael Meyers talked about the upcoming Drupal 7 and Drupal 8 end of life. When a version of Drupal reaches EOL, the Drupal community will no longer work on it or provide free support. Core development stops entirely - no new features are added, no bugs will be fixed. The core issue queues will be locked, you will be prevented from adding anything to Drupal 7 & 8 Core on Drupal.org.

Tag1 Quo - the enterprise security monitoring service

preston — Fri, 14 Feb 2020 02:13:31 +0000

One of the challenges of securing any Drupal site is the often wide range of modules to track, security advisories to follow, and updates to implement. When it comes to Drupal security, particularly older versions of Drupal such as Drupal 6 and Drupal 7, even a slight delay in patching security vulnerabilities can jeopardize mission-critical sites. Now that Drupal 7 and Drupal 8 are fast approaching their end of life (EOL) in November 2021 (Drupal 6 reached end of life on February 24, 2016), the time is now to prepare your Drupal sites for a secure future, regardless of what version you are using.

dylanclear — Wed, 15 Mar 2017 22:33:59 +0000

Though it came and went largely unnoticed, February 24th, 2017 marked an important anniversary to tens of thousands of Drupal website owners. February 24th 2017 was the 1-year anniversary of the End-of-Life (EOL) announcement for Drupal 6 as no longer supported by the Drupal community. It is widely known that major Drupal version upgrades require non-trivial resources. Not only do they require significant planning, technical expertise, and budget, but the path is often determined by funding and availability of maintainers of popular contributed functionality (modules). Add the complexity of upgrading custom development, and the conditions create significant challenges for small to medium websites without large operating budgets. As evidence of this, our research indicates there are at least 150,000 publicly accessible sites still running Drupal 6. One of a Kind Tag1 Quo is the only Drupal monitoring solution that supports Drupal 6 LTS, Drupal 7, and Drupal 8 under one dashboard. Check It Out! For most D6 site managers, the most critical (and stressful) impact of EOL is the discontinuation of Drupal 6 security patches by the Drupal security team. When a major version reaches EOL, the Drupal security team ceases to release patches, or serve public Security Advisories for...
