This week's Web Dev Rev notes started with Drupal:
Drupal security announcement- Drupal security releases for 7.74, 8.9.9, 9.0.8 and 9.1.0-rc1 (which also includes non-security changes)
- Drupal 8.9 and 9.0 marked incompatible with PHP 8
- Drupal 9.2 will be PHP 8 compatible, maybe not 9.1
- extending Drupal core's oEmbed source plugin beyond YouTube and Vimeo
- Smart Date 3.1 and beyond
- get involved with the future of Drupal at DrupalCon Europe
- DrupalCon Europe will only sustain if you show up for it
- 7 best practices of a good editorial experience
- create a user-friendly CMS for your content editors with Drupal
Finally, we had just a couple of the more general web notes:
- Firefox 83 is upon us
- what's new in Chrome 87
- Edge's dev channel update to 88.0.702.0 is live
- Composer 2.0.7 released and looking very stable
- a big table of notes on aria-label usage
- simulating colour vision deficiencies in the Blink renderer
- Google experimenting with automatic video creation from a web page
- GitHub on standing up for developers and how youtube-dl is back
At the end of the meeting, we recommended people watch the video, "Altering, extending, and enhancing Drupal" from DrupalCon Global 2020.
Web Dev Rev will be back next week, on Friday, November 27th at 11:00am.
