Twenty-five years! In the world of technology, hitting a quarter-century milestone while remaining a top-notch powerhouse of the internet is an achievement so rare it's almost unheard of. Today, we're popping the confetti and cutting the cakes around the world to celebrate a colossal journey. This isn't just a birthday for a piece of software; it's a testament to resilience, constant evolution, and the deep-seated belief in doing things the right way. Join us as we look back on 25 years of shared passion, contribution, and the incredible community that has made Drupal so powerful. Happy birthday, Drupal!
We are excited to announce that the main branch is now the official Drupal core development branch. Using a main branch aligns Drupal core with the best practices of industry and major open-source projects. This move is the final step of infrastructure changes that began in 2023.
Going forward, main is the new, primary development trunk for Drupal core. Most active work and outstanding issues currently filed against 11.x should now be targeted at main. The 11.x branch will remain for Drupal-11-specific issues, while Drupal 12 development will happen in the main branch.

“President Trump called on Iranians on Tuesday to keep protesting against their government and warned that those responsible for killing demonstrators would ‘pay a big price.’” — New York Times
“Donald Trump branded anti-ICE protests in Minnesota ‘fake riots,’ aired a crass and evidence-free theory about the people involved, and spouted a racist slogan during a lengthy, unhinged speech in Detroit.” — Daily Mirror
In the wake of the violent crackdown against protestors in Iran, the United States stands firmly on the side of the Iranian people rising up against their authoritarian government. Our administration supports protesting against any government except our own.
Drupal 12 development has reached a point where the system requirements may be raised in the development branch. To prepare core developers for this and to inform the community at large, we are announcing the following requirements for Drupal 12.

The MySQL and SQLite requirements have not changed since Drupal 11.0. MariaDB is raised from 10.6 and PostgreSQL from 16.
